Project Status
This project will begin the design phase in Fall 2008.
 
Some bond improvements at the school are currently under construction to prepare the building to receive students and staff from Casey Middle School in January. Some of the work being done includes improvements to the boys and girls locker rooms, installing a curtain in the gym, installing portable classrooms, installing additional lockers, upgrading the electrical systems and installing a new freezer.
 
Registration to be held at Douglass Elementary School
 
The current construction work includes extensive improvements to the parking lot and traffic flow areas around Platt. This is a significant joint venture between the Boulder Valley School District and Boulder County and will greatly relieve traffic congestion issues. Unfortunately, due to this construction, there will be very limited access to the school during the week of August 4th through the 8th.

Therefore, registration will be held in the gym at Douglass Elementary School. Platt staff will be working at Douglass to handle the process.

Douglass is located at 840 75th St. - between Baseline and Arapahoe. Baseline is currently under construction between 75th and Cherryvale. If you are coming from the west, it is easiest to access Douglass from Arapahoe.

The building will be ready for the start of school on August 15th as planned.

Portable classrooms will be delivered to Platt Aug. 25 and 26 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. This could cause delays on Baseline Rd.
