......"It finally happened, I almost can't believe it," the school's PTA co-president Dawn Nethercott said of the long-awaited arrival of the certificate, which was originally due about 18 months after work began in April 2005.
"It's almost bittersweet," added PTA co-president Rose Furano.
With the certificate in hand, school officials can now allow students and staff to return to the state-of-the-art facility.
However, these officials said Friday they had decided, in consultation with the school's administration, that staff and equipment should be moved in over spring recess, beginning April 6, with elementary students returning to class in the new building April 13.
PLEASE SEE:
Brian -Wanted to share the good news.
The announcement was made today that the Ham Ave kids will be moved to the new building over February break and start school on February 17th in their new school.
Brian, I owe you a tremendous amount of thanks for helping to make this happen. Without you and your blog, I don't think it would have happened.Love you!!!!!!!

GREENWICH - In an abrupt reversal, school officials said Tuesday they would allow Hamilton Avenue School staff to begin moving classroom equipment into their new schoolhouse over winter recess next week, clearing the way for students to move in by mid-February.
The decision, which was announced in a letter to parents Tuesday morning, came just hours before community members were expected to stage a rally protesting the decision by school officials last Friday to push the move back to April.....
