The Lasting Impact of the Improvements

It has been two years since the major renovations at Alice Ott Middle School were completed. This milestone was made possible by our community’s devoted support through the 2022 Bond Measure.

At David Douglas, we believe every update we make to our schools is a reflection of the value we place on our students’ education. Thanks to your investment, we successfully delivered the following improvements at Alice Ott:

• New Security Vestibule
• Historic Window Demolition and Protection
• Track Renovation
• Asphalt Replacement & Driveway Repairs
• Site Lighting Improvements

We are proud to see these improved spaces serving our students and staff every day.

Dear Alice Ott Middle School Community,

We want to express our sincere gratitude for your support of the 2022 Bond Measure for the David Douglas School District. Thanks to your commitment, we have been able to move forward with important renovations that will improve the safety and quality of our school.

This past summer, Alice Ott Middle School has gone through some important renovations to enhance our campus. Here are some key updates:

• New Security Vestibule: As part of our commitment to student safety, we have updated our security vestibule to enhance safety measures at the main entrance of the school. This will further protect students, staff, and visitors by improving controlled access to the building.
• Historic Window Demolition and Protection: We have successfully completed the careful demolition and protection of our historic windows. This important step has allowed us to modernize the building while preserving its historical significance, ensuring a balance between maintaining the school’s character and enhancing its functionality.
• Track Renovation: We are pleased to announce that the renovation of our school’s track has been completed. The new and improved track will provide students with a safer, more functional space for physical activity and athletics.
• Asphalt Replacement & Driveway Repairs: To improve access and safety, partial asphalt replacement and repairs to some driveways have been completed.
• Site Lighting Improvements: Upgraded site lighting to enhance visibility and safety around the campus.

These projects have been crucial in providing a safe and enriching environment for our students, and we are excited to see them completed. Your continued support has made all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful.

Thank you again for your dedication and partnership. Together, we are building a safer, stronger future for our students and our community.

Sincerely, 

Alice Ott Middle School
