Construction Update | 8/9/19
BROWN/KENNEDY CAMPUS IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL 8/19
As we approach the start of the school year, we want to prepare parents on the changes to the morning routines as it relates to navigating the Brown/KMS campus.
A large part of the drop off/pick up process will be adjusting to the normal "new school" procedures; however, keep in mind that this is also a live construction site and we need to account for it in our morning routines.
Navigating the campus:
A guidance video is forthcoming. Stay tuned!
- Plan to add 20 minutes to morning routines until you become familiar with the new layout of the campus.
- Walking paths will be open. (Read below for site updates about the paths).
Please see the reader accessible PDF or image of the site map for pedestrian access points and navigation. - Drivers MUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS from adults directing traffic on campus.
- Read ALL signs.
- Maintain LOW SPEEDS at all times.
- Please do not use drop off time to check out the campus.
- If possible, avoid driving to campus to avoid the anticipated congestion.
Site Updates:
- Barnsdale walking path will be open as before.
- Old Surrey walking path is restored and will be open.
- New pedestrian walking path on campus (a navigation video is forthcoming)
- Medical/Health Info drop off
8/26; regular building hours
A few things to note:
- The campus is an active (live) construction site.
- The construction site is enclosed with fencing and locks; therefore, there is a low probability of anyone "wandering" into the space.

Construction Update 6/7/19
See below for the timeline of activities happening on the Kennedy and Brown campuses over the summer. Attached is an annotated map with notes of the areas on campus that will experience impacts and the anticipated dates for those activities.
A good rule of thumb is that campus and buildings will not be accessible by the public from the end of the school year June 19, 2019 through August 19, 2019.
Exception: Administrators, custodians and administrative assistants will be the only authorized personnel on both campuses. These individuals will be able to be in the building and conduct their work save for the exceptions noted below.
June - August 2019
Do not expect access to the schools (including classrooms) and roads, unless you work at the school in the summer as an administrator, assistant, or custodian.
After Students Leave School (14th)
Fencing will be moved around, parking may be impacted but staff can still enter and exit until June 19.
June 17th
Expect delays due to one-lane travel on the Brown/KMS campus at all times
Fencing installation along roadway on to dual campus and on Brown access road
Modular install begins--footings prep
Technology Staff move items out of current IT office so it can be remodeled for use as front door supervisor’s office (affects staff only)
June 19th
No access to campuses from Hartford Street
No access to campuses from Mill Street
Access to Brown only from Barnesdale and will not flow through the campuses reliably
Surrey Lane access will be blocked, remade, realigned and restored around July 1 (estimation)

June 20th
There will be no access to the side parking lot at Brown. Construction vehicles only. (staff should no longer visit campus)
Front of old KMS will no longer be accessible.
No access to the old KMS parking lot.
One lane traffic on campus, expect delays
Deliveries will be routed to the new front entrance which is now the back entrance.
June 24th
A new access road will be used to enter campuses
Expect one-lane access on campus
No public access to Mill Street
Improvements to Lucier Drive will begin
Mosaic on front door will be removed and preserved for future installation

Hot water access will be available after this for whole summer until cut over of utilities in late July/early August.
1st/2nd Week of July
Water switch over
No staff access at all, including summer workers --principals, assistants, custodians (dates TBD) (affects school staff only and their ability to work in schools; if working this week during power outages, move to town hall for admins and assistants, to NHS for custodians)
This could be a 1-2 day cut over
July 15-16th (exact dates within these weeks may fluctuate)
Eversource collaboration, various changeovers. (affects school staff only and their ability to work in schools; if working this week during power outages, move to town hall for admins and assistants, to NHS for custodians)
School Technology Staff will need to reboot and check technology after the power outages and check phone services
End of July/Beginning of August
Possible power disruption to Brown and KMS (affects school staff only)
Fire alarm cut over (this date is not yet firm but no staff can be in building without a working alarm)
District technology to arrange to test video surveillance system
August 7th

August 19th
Summer phase of construction to be completed
New access road to campus will be operational.
Weeks Prior to School
A video and map of new roads and drop-off procedures / circulation routes will be sent to the community at large for the 2019-2020 School Year.
In addition, you can view an aerial site map for a visual of the areas on campus where there will be impacts or work will be completed on the various dates outlined above.
Please know that we are in the process of determining the following:
If there was a time capsule placed in the old KMS and where it is (no one can yet answer this, even Dr. Keefe!)
A time capsule committee led by Sandy Lemon has been convened to create a NEW capsule to be placed in the new KMS building
Plants around the campus are subject to conservation expectations for the construction team. The team is expected to preserve, relocate and reuse whatever they can. We cannot, therefore, allow the public in to dig up plants. In addition, from June 19 on, there is no access to the closed campus at all.
Arrangements are being made, like those made for the old NHS, to have a “say goodbye to old KMS” event that would allow for final visits and to distribute both memorabilia and aspects of the building that cannot be sold or salvaged for reuse.
This is an overview memo, but we will update you all summer through our usual means:

Construction will be ongoing, and we know that you will have concerns to share or questions to ask along the way.
We want to encourage you to connect with us anytime by contacting the building committee via email, kmsbuildingcommittee@natickps.org.
All messages sent here go to everyone on the building committee and will receive a response. In addition, you can call my office 508-647-6500 to share your feedback.

Kennedy Middle School Building Project
Community Forum
Wednesday, July 12, 2017
7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Kennedy Middle School, Auditorium
This is the second public forum—in a series of forums—that will focus on helping the community understand feasibility options for the proposed building project. The full forum schedule is (tentatively) listed as:
- Wednesday, May 31, 2017: LISTENING: Gathering community input
- Wednesday, July 12, 2017: ALTERNATIVES: Understanding the feasibility options [UPCOMING]
- TBD, September 2017: RECOMMENDED SOLUTION: Understanding the proposed solution
The KMSBC will consider the broadest range of options and possibilities to address the operational and educational constraints of the John F. Kennedy Middle School. This forum and the subsequent forums play a vital role in that process. Please attend and share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. The focus of each workshop is different so citizens are encouraged to attend all. The workshops will build on each other.
Your feedback and input are important. We hope you are able to attend this forum. We look forward to working cooperatively with the Natick community on this great opportunity to develop a solution for upgrading Kennedy and ensuring our educational objectives are met, while also addressing much-needed building systems and infrastructure issues.
If you're unable to attend the meeting, you can watch the meeting on Facebook Live by visiting the Natick Public Schools page (www.facebook.com/natickps).
Should you have questions or comments, email the project team: kennedyproject@natickps.org.
