Extreme Makeover for Waterford Elementary


by Ken Zook, Becky Black, & Lynn Simonton, Aleyda Morales, Brian Patton and Kyle




Did you hear the recent news that Waterford Elementary will be closed next year for its own
version of an Extreme Makeover? You heard it right, Waterford Elementary will be closed right
after the end of this school year as the Orange County School System gives our local
elementary school a new look. The Waterford Elementary campus will be closed for one year.
The faculty, staff and students will be housed at the University High School’s former Ninth
Grade Center for the 2013-2014 school year. In order to complete the renovation within one
year, it will be necessary to "swing" students to the other campus location. The relocation will
include the principal, teachers and support personnel. Bus transportation will be provided for all
students to the swing location. Having an empty campus will allow for the replacement of the
core buildings (office, cafeteria, media center and music/art rooms). Any modular classrooms
will be removed and new will be built in their place. The existing classrooms will be refurbished.
A community meeting will be held in April to present preliminary information on the construction
process. Should anyone have any questions or concerns you may contact Daryl Flynn at
daryl.flynn@ocps.net or call her at (407)317-3200 ext. 2989.



Important information you should know and share with others is that Waterford Elementary is
holding a “Kindergarten Roundup” on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 from 9 a.m. – noon at the
school for parents whose children are ready to start kindergarten in 2013-2014. Students must
be five years old on or before September 1, 2013 to start school on August 19, 2013. Parents
can get their children registered for school on that day and I’m sure info will be available for the
changes taking place during the makeover. Please get the word out in your neighborhood
meetings, mention the date in any communications and Waterford Elementary would appreciate
help in getting the message out. It will be a challenging but fun time for all and the results should
be pretty spectacular too…
