Amid the heat of the summer in the blink of an eye, the 2024-25 academic year is here, and in Montgomery County some teachers and students will be going back to mark the inaugural year of a new school.
With gleaming new floors and well-equipped classrooms, Kirkwood Elementary teachers and administrators are only a week out from welcoming students into the new school for the first time.
Kirkwood Elementary School is the third school CMCSS has opened in the past three years. The elementary school comes as CMCSS continues to find way to relieve the overcrowding in many of the schools.
“Recently, we had the privilege of touring our newest school, Kirkwood Elementary,” said CMCSS Director of Schools Jean Luna-Vedder. “Our 25 th elementary school is over 95-percent complete, with final touches being added. Furniture is being assembled, and pending successful last inspections, we are optimistic that administrators and teachers will begin moving in this week. We are so excited to show off the culminating building of the Kirkwood Complex and to welcome all the baby Cobras on the first half day of school August 7!”
