Construction crews are once again on site at Arcanum Schools to complete the work that was started last summer. Approximately 50 percent of the work has been completed, with the remainder of the work to be finished this summer. Please be aware of the following: 1) be mindful of the additional traffic on and off the campus; 2) the back parking lot is once again closed and is off limits at all hours; 3) The walking path will only be partially opened for walkers and is closed around the back of the building, and 4) parking for softball and baseball games is available in the front parking lot. Administrators thank you for your continued patience as they complete the project.
Coming this summer will be yet another exciting development for Ivester Park! The Village of Arcanum is on a mission to build new exciting playground equipment where every child will have the opportunity to play! Check out the plans on this website:
