Columbia Elementary School

Students arrived for their first day of school on August 23, 2004 at the new Columbia Elementary School campus located at 21350 Rider Street.

OFFSITE: Following the completion of the underground utility services by Edison, Verizon and Adelphia, the old electrical poles located along the north side of Rider Street were removed. This allowed for a portion of the street to be graded, allowing access to the campus and contractors to begin the remaining offsite work. PK Mechanical Systems, Inc. along with Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) is continuing work on the relocation of the water line in Rider Street. The new 12” water line was installed and during the last week of August all connections to the existing service are expected to be complete. ASR Constructors, Inc. with their subcontractor Kobold continue to form and pour the remaining curb and gutter sections along Rider Street. ASR Constructors, Inc. is well underway with the placement of sidewalks at the perimeter of the campus. The remaining grading for Rider Street is expected to commence by the beginning of September.

SITE: American Landscape, Inc. has completed the installation of the sod at the play fields located at the west end of the campus. ASR Constructors, Inc. has completed all flatwork on the campus. The majority of the asphalt at the delivery turnaround for the Building ‘C’ Kitchen Area has been completed.

BUILDING S : Onsite construction is complete. The Val Verde Unified School District has occupied the campus for this school year.
