Rockwell Elementary Good Neighbor Open House

The Lake Washington School District Support Services team, along with members of the construction project team, met with families and community members from the Rockwell Elementary School community on the evening of February 27. The goal of the event was to show the community the construction plans for the rebuild and enlarge project at Rockwell Elementary that will kick off this summer.

About 50 community members joined the team to learn more and ask questions about the upcoming construction project.

The rebuild and enlarge project at Rockwell Elementary is funded by the voter-approved 2022 Building Excellence Capital Construction Levy. This project creates space for 252 additional students while also addressing an aging facility. Rockwell will include 30 classrooms and support spaces in a new two-story building that will open in Fall 2026. Construction will begin this summer. (Preliminary work may start this spring).
