Groundbreaking For New Elementary School in Milpitas
JL Construction in partnership with JL Modular, Inc. broke ground on a new state-of the-art elementary school in Milpitas on August 23, 2017. The new Mabel Mattos Elementary School will be the tenth elementary School in the Milpitas Unified School District. It features phased construction with the first phase opening in August 2018 to serve 250 students. The school will be expanded as District enrollment increases, and is expected to serve a maximum of 800 students.
The new school is being built as a center for “22nd century learning” with classrooms referred to as learning communities. The focus will be on ensuring that every student engages in state-of-the-art learning that includes:
- • Personalized learning
- • Community connections and project based learning
- • Collaboration and critical thinking
- • Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM)
