We are excited that next year LHCS will be right sized!  The addition to Lower Campus is expected to be complete and there will be room for 3rd grade to be there.  The new classrooms will be big enough for the kids and the materials needed for students to learn effectively.  LC students will have a lunch room that meets their needs, Art and Music will move their carts into an actual classroom, MinneapolisKids will have space and after 20 years, we will have no portables!   With the 3rd grade moving to the lower campus, the UC will be right sized too.   This means that LHCS will not have any split classes, will not be teaching classes in the lunch room and the teachers will have a suitable teacher's lounge.  Also, final class lists are not available yet, but at this point we expect that most classrooms will not exceed the referendum class size recommendations.  It is possible, as always to exceed those recommendations by one or occasionally two students as people move into the neighborhood.  (Referendum class size recommendations are 26 students in a classroom for K-3rd, and 32 students for 4th-8th.)
