It has a name!

The new school on North Melville has a name--the Rensselaer Central Primary School. I guess that makes it RCPS.

I was hoping for something a bit more imaginative, but cannot think of anything better. Monnett would not work--that name is attached to the site of the current primary school and its use on another school would be confusing.

There is an open house scheduled for the new school on August 23. School starts later in Rensselaer this fall than in the surrounding school districts because school officials wanted to be sure the new school would be ready. The first day of classes is August 27. (That means that the pool at Brookside Park will be open later than normal. It will even be open Labor Day weekend.)
