Your kids may still have some days of summer left to enjoy, but it is already over for many area teachers and staff members. Schools in Door and Kewaunee counties opened doors to staff members this week to prepare for the upcoming school year. While it may be just part of the routine at some schools, and it is anything but for teachers at Algoma and Gibraltar, both of which are undergoing massive referendum-related construction projects. In Fish Creek, Gibraltar Secondary School Principal Jim De Broux says its construction project is progressing nicely, but suggests it might be easier to send your kids on the bus than to pack your patience with parking at a premium heading into the year. He believes that Thursday’s open house will be more exciting as some students and parents will see their new spaces for the first time.
Kewaunee, Sturgeon Bay, and Sevastopol will host open house events for their families on Wednesday, while Algoma, Gibraltar, and Southern Door will host theirs on Thursday. The first day of school is scheduled for September 2nd.
