PARKER, Colo. (KDVR) -- Some students in Parker will not begin the school year in their brand-new facility due to construction delays. They are attending a temporary location instead.

Administrators at the Leman Academy of Excellence told FOX31 that 270 students attend the school's pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade program.

Lindsey Gyger enrolled her child at the charter school in May.

"We are so happy about their program and their education style," she told FOX31.

The school is building a new building that was to open in time for the beginning of the 2024 school year in mid-August but construction remains incomplete.

The school's administration told the Problem Solvers that parents received notice that students would temporarily be taught at alternate locations and issued a statement to FOX31.

"Leman Academy of Excellence has communicated to families the current plan for opening the new school which includes the temporary use of alternate locations. Our general contractor has been in contact with the various permitting agencies to work towards a firm date for the opening of the first phase of the new facility. Once we receive that date, we will communicate it to our Bayou Gulch community. We appreciate the kindness and patience that our parents, scholars and staff have extended throughout this process."

Gyger said parents should have received notice about the delay earlier.

"We had everything planned I planned with my work the drop-offs, pickups, everything, the location and then just all of a sudden we just didn't know where our kids were going to school," she said.

Gyger said she understands that construction projects can undergo delays.

"I try to look at forgiveness and maybe it wasn't their fault, not getting mad at the teachers or anything," she said.

She looks forward to the opening of the new school so her child and other students can continue their learning in a stable environment.

"I think children thrive in stability and consistency," she said.
