Facilities
We are deeply grateful to our community for making the new Bayside Middle School and significant renovations to Stormonth Elementary School facilities possible through the approval of the $58.5M referendum in April 2022. Designed and built to serve the children of the Fox Point and Bayside communities for generations to come, these buildings reflect our shared commitment to providing the highest quality and safest learning environments.
In the Fall of 2024, the new Bayside Middle opened its doors for students and staff, ushering a new era of updated, modern facilities that reflect the innovative, future ready learning occuring within our schools. For more information on the building design and learning spaces, visit our Bayside Facilities page. At that same time, the majority of Stormonth Elementary School renovations were completed, focusing on improving classroom learning spaces, mechanical systems, accessibility, and improved building safety and security.
Throughout both projects, every decision made was centered on fostering a rich learning experience that honors the unique talents of our students and prepares them for future success.
