Since April of the last school year, there have been many different construction projects near and within Clague, the biggest being the addition of the new Logan Elementary school on the old outdoor Clague athletic campus. This had created an entirely new system for drop off and pick up for students, as well as many new landscape additions to the front of Clague. 

The changes in the front landscape have been significant, including multiple new walkways and a new staircase down to Bluett Road, and the reseeding of all the previous grass in the front area. Over the summer, there was also a new road installed in front of Clague because Clague Street is currently under construction. 

All these changes have made car and bus drop-off and pick-up procedures different. Instead of using the circle drive on Clague Street for the car line, cars now use the circle drive in front of the main entrance for the car line. This had made the car line significantly longer on some days and slightly less inefficient. This is also due to the fact that the only entrance to Clague for students is off of Bluett Road, which can also have traffic not associated with Clague drop off and pick up. 

The construction has also changed where the buses are during drop-off and pick-up. Clague installed a new sidewalk on Bluett Road, as well as a new walkway down to the road and a set of stairs for students to easily be able to access the buses. The buses now line up next to the new sidewalk on Bluett Road. Eighth grader Kevin McCabe had this to say about the new bus situation, 

“I like the new area for buses because it feels more open. Getting on and off the front circle drive was very cramped with people.” McCabe said. 

Many people have had mixed opinions on the new procedures and construction, and while it is not yet known if these changes will stay after the construction or if they will continue to be successful, so far they have seemed to work well enough and efficiently enough for people to successfully get to and from school.
