Parents and children got their first glimpse at the newly renovated Rose Stein International Elementary during an open house on Nov. 17. The school was formerly known as Stein, and was closed in 2014 due to overcrowding. In the spring of 2014, the school district approved a $1.1 million plan to combine Alameda's International Baccalaureate (IB) program with O'Connell's IB Middle Years program, creating a 7-12 school at Alameda, moving Stein students to O'Connell and emptying Stein.
The inside has been fully renovated, and is slated to start accepting students for the fall. There was little in the way of furniture in the building, but it gave visitors a sense of what the school will be like. "I'm a Jeffco teacher and live nearby," said Sarah McMahon, who was there with her daughters. "It looks beautiful, and I'm curious about the IB program starting here."
