Norman Elementary School
Austin ISD’s 2017 Bond called for the construction of a single, modernized elementary school at the Norman or Sims campus. As advised by a community planning team, the AISD Board of Trustees approved a $25 million investment in Norman Elementary School, funding the complete modernization of the campus as one of 17 new or modernized campuses.
The modernized Norman Elementary will open in Spring 2021 and include flexible learning spaces, natural light, outdoor classrooms, and new media technology. A modernized school allows students to be active learners in 21st-century learning spaces as they collaborate, use technology and move within the classroom.
While Norman is being modernized, students are co-locating at Sims Elementary for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years, forming the combined Norman & Sims Elementary Schools — the campus where Stars Shine and Tigers Roar Together!
Norman will be under construction for two years — until Spring 2021. During 2019-2020, most work will be behind the scenes as design and construction experts plan the modernized school. Construction began in Fall 2019. Watch the groundbreaking ceremony here.
