This morning, WRDSB staff, local dignitaries, and future students celebrated the construction of our newest elementary school with a sod turning!

The new school, located on Sweet Gale Street in west Waterloo, was named Vista Hills Public School this past April. The school name relates to the geographical area of the school. The hills in the area were developed overtime by the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the Waterloo Moraine, which provides drinking water for people throughout Waterloo Region.

The school is scheduled to open in September 2016, and will accommodate approximately 646 students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.

 

It's official - let the construction begin!
