  1. Smith Farm Elementary School • Opens Fall 2013 • Designed for approximately 720 students K-5 • Located just north of I-40 in Winston-Salem, near Oak Grove Church Rd • 4250 Johnny Knoll Ln

  2. Current Capacity Concerns • Hall-Woodward • 23 classrooms outside building (2 pods, 9 mobiles) • Sedge Garden • Capacity without mobiles is 862 • Caleb’s Creek- Opened fall 2009 • Enrollment exceeds 900 students after only 3 years • Goal is to not add mobiles and to reduce enrollment • Union Cross enrollment is steady but not significantly increasing since Caleb’s Creek opened • Enrollment 2008-09: 1,213 • Current enrollment: 831

  3. Student Assignment Procedure • Rising 4th and 5th grade students grandfathered to stay at current schools • Rising 1st-3rd grade students • Students residential to the new school who attend Hall-Woodward or Sedge Garden as current residential students, will be assigned to Smith Farm and would need to make a choice to attend another school • Students who will be residential to Smith Farm but made a choice in previous years to attend another school will be assigned back to their current school

  4. Choice Pattern • When opening new elementary schools in the past few years, it resulted in the zone having 6 schools • Makes transportation more difficult • Following a similar pattern as Zones 7 and 8, Zone 1 will be divided into ‘Blue’ and ‘Green’ Sections • Opportunity to limit overcrowding at Caleb’s Creek • Current students and siblings who are ‘grandfathered’ will receive transportation until the oldest student in that family completes the grade span • AR 5117.2.III.A.1.d

  5. Choice Pattern cont. Forest Park Caleb’s Creek Hall-Woodward Union Cross Smith Farm Sedge Garden

  6. Capacity and Population K-5 *67 of proposed already at UCES

  7. Caleb’s Creek Impact • Enrollment decrease from Choice options changing • 94 from Hall-Woodward • 15 from Forest Park that would become ‘out of zone’ students (916 to 807) • Enrollment could lower to 807 in 2 years or less
