School building. Once they’re
moved into the new building,
the board will decide what
will happen to the old
building.
White said there have been
a few interested parties
inquiring about purchasing
the location.
Over the summer of 2021,
the fifth grade will move
into all middle schools in
the school system, including
Pepperell. After doing this, all
of the middle schools will be
fifth grade, sixth grade and
seventh grade.
“The building itself is going
to be beautiful,” White said.
“It’ll be something the whole
community can be proud of.”
CLOSINGS
Now that the decision has
been made by the Floyd
County School Board to close
Cave Spring Elementary and
Glenwood Primary, White is
preparing for the transition
and getting students, families
and faculty ready to move
over the summer of 2022.
Not all of the Cave Spring
students will be going to Alto
Park Elementary. Those who
live along U.S. 27 South will
be going to Pepperell Primary
and Pepperell Elementary.
The principals of Alto Park
and Cave Spring will also
meet to discuss the needs of
the two schools.
White said they’ll be taking
any Cave Spring parents and
teachers who want to see
Alto Park on scheduled tours
between now and the fall of
2022.
Down the road at Glenwood
Primary, the transition
process will be less emotional
but require more construction.
“When we close Glenwood,
we’ll move Glenwood from
their location to Armuchee
Elementary,” White said.
The new name of that
school will be left up to the
community.
The seventh grade will be
moved to the former Ninth
Grade Academy building
at Armuchee High School,
since there won’t be room
at Armuchee Middle after
the grades are shifted in the
summer of 2021.
Over the summer, they will
be adding new restrooms to
the building to accommodate
the new students, so that the
seventh graders never have to
interact with the sophomores,
juniors and seniors.
