The Weld RE-4 School District will hold ribbon-cutting ceremonies on August 28 and 29 to commemorate the opening of two new elementary schools.
Hollister Lake Elementary School:
August 28, 2024
5 – 6:30 p.m.
550 Sundance Dr., Windsor, CO
Orchard Hill Elementary School:
August 29, 2024
5 – 6:30 p.m.

The ceremonies will include brief remarks by school officials, an official ribbon cutting, light refreshments, and open house activities.
The two elementary schools are the result of community support of a $271-million bond package in November 2022. Each school is approximately 75,000 square feet and includes:
-
600-K-5 student capacity and 64-preschool student capacity
-
100-student Small Learning Communities (SLCs), stacked two stories, that include student gathering space, technology resources, and teacher workrooms / support offices
-
Centralized Media Hub and STEM Laboratory
-
Fitness / wellness, music / stage, and cafeteria that are close in proximity to promote afterhour use and to be used as central social gathering locations for students
-
Teacher workrooms and administrative support offices
The events are free and open to the public.
