BUDA, Texas — When Hays CISD students return to class on Aug. 16, some will be heading into a new building.
On Thursday, Hays CISD will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Sunfield Elementary School. The ceremony will be held at 5 p.m., followed by a meet-the-teacher event from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The school said on its Facebook page that the event would be a great time to bring school supplies and coordinate with teachers about daily transportation. More than 500 families are expected to attend.
According to Hays CISD, the new campus is 117,611 square feet and is located within the Sunfield subdivision of Buda.
The campus can house up to 900 students, kindergarten through fifth grade.
Sunfield is Hays CISD's 15th elementary school. The most recent Hays CISD bond, passed in the spring, approved the construction of the 16th elementary school and the design for the 17th.
Community Impact reports that construction on the 16th elementary school will begin next year to help with overcrowding at Negley Elementary School.
