New Westmont Elementary will open for students on Monday
EVANS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Westmont Elementary School will be opening up next week, the Columbia County School District said Friday.
The newly built school wasn’t open for the start of the school year, so students started out by meeting at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center for most of the first two weeks.
Then on Friday, they met at the district department complex for a field trip, rotating between learning stations.

On Monday, students will report to the new school at 4558 Oakley Pirkle Road.
“We want to thank our entire community for shown to our families, students and staff at Westmont Elementary School,” the district said in an update letter. “Special thanks to the countless staff who came together to help ensure the Westmont team had every resource to provide students with a memorable learning experience at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center.”
Here’s the traffic plan at the new school:
At the new school, construction crews have been working on last-minute projects at the campus, although construction has been going on for a couple of years.
This isn’t the first time construction of a new school has continued until the last minute or even beyond.
2 Richmond County students caught with knives so far this week
Two Augusta students have been caught with knives this week, a few days after a gun was confiscated at Butler High School.
In the Richmond County School System, the new Belair Middle School won’t quite be ready yet, so students will start the year at Langford Middle School.
And last year in Aiken County, uncertainty loomed over Highland Springs Middle School students as construction continued until nearly the last minute.
