This state-of-the-art PK-5 facility was made possible through the community\u2019s support of a $174 million bond issue passed in 2019. Designed to accommodate the growing population on the west side of Rockford, Edgerton Trails alleviates overcrowding in neighboring schools. The school is a testament to the district\u2019s mission to provide safe learning environments that give students the academic and social skills needed to be successful, lifelong learners in a global society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school&#8217;s colorful interior is inspired by Rockford&#8217;s elementary science curriculum, with each grade level housed in distinct &#8220;neighborhoods&#8221; that reflect local habitats. The neighborhoods \u2014 The Pond (DK), The Woodlands (K-1), The Lakes (2-3), and The Dunes (4-5) \u2014 provide age-appropriate and fun environments that connect back to what they are learning. Students can feel emotionally and physically safe as the layout ensures they interact primarily with their peers in spaces designed specifically for their developmental stage. The integration of natural themes also extends to the building\u2019s outdoor learning spaces, which includes a small classroom amphitheater and access to the district\u2019s nature center. Two playgrounds on site also cater to the needs of lower and upper elementary age students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-73db555c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><section class=\"higherup-accordion__section\">\n    <div class=\"higherup-accordion__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<div class=\"higherup-accordion__tab-container\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<button id=\"\" class=\"accordion-headline-container\" aria-controls=\"headline-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading accordion-headline\">Project News &amp; Awards<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"headline-content\" class=\"accordion-content-container\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/news\/grand-rapids\/2023\/09\/take-a-look-inside-rockfords-new-28m-elementary-school-before-it-opens-next-year.html\">Take a look inside Rockford\u2019s new $28M elementary school before it opens next year<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"accordion-tab-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolnewsnetwork.org\/2024\/07\/24\/collaboration-is-at-the-heart-of-new-elementary-school\/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=collaboration-is-at-the-heart-of-new-elementary-school&amp;utm_source=School+News+Network&amp;utm_campaign=713cc10631-Mailchimp_Email_Newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_8af2d3c0ed-713cc10631-143587665\">Collaboration is at the heart of new elementary school<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodtv.com\/abc4\/maranda\/school-news-network\/rockfords-new-elementary-edgerton-trails-fosters-collaboration-and-learning\/\">Rockford\u2019s new elementary, Edgerton Trails, fosters collaboration and learning<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\"><div class=\"taxonomy-focus focus-list-block wp-block-post-terms\"><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__prefix\">Focuses<br><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/focus\/outdoor-learning\/\" rel=\"tag\">Outdoor Learning<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/focus\/pre-bond-campaign-management\/\" rel=\"tag\">Pre-Bond\/Campaign Management<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3e3f4aed wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:4rem;margin-bottom:4rem;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N132_casestudy-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N132_casestudy-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N132_casestudy-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N132_casestudy-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N132_casestudy.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N142_casestudy-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N142_casestudy-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N142_casestudy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N142_casestudy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4922_N142_casestudy.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-898c1be4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:4rem;margin-bottom:4rem;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<p>One of the key principles guiding the design of Edgerton Trails was the creation of spaces where learning and collaboration are always on display.
