Progress continues on Davis School District’s newest elementary school in West Syracuse — now officially named Still Water Elementary School.
Construction crews remain on schedule at the campus, which is on track to welcome students in August 2026.
“There is a lot of great progress happening,” Facilities Administrator Weston Weekes said. “We are on schedule. Everything’s looking awesome.”
Still Water Elementary is one of the final projects funded through the district’s voter-approved Building Generations bond in 2022. Favorable winter weather has helped crews maintain steady momentum, allowing exterior concrete work and site development to continue without major delays.
“With this warmer weather, they’re able to pour concrete easier outside,” Construction Coordinator Eric Flint said. “They’ve been able to stay pretty consistent with site work.”
Inside the nearly 80,000-square-foot building, crews are entering the final phase of construction, focusing on interior finishes and detail work.
“We’re just in the final stages now,” Flint said. “A lot of finish work to be done.”
Still Water Elementary follows the same proven design used at several recently built district schools, featuring a consistent layout tailored with its own unique color theme — making this campus the final iteration of the district’s successful elementary blueprint.
With the school’s name now finalized, the next step in the process will invite families of future students to help shape the school’s identity by selecting a mascot.
Designed to be welcoming, functional and future-focused, Still Water Elementary School reflects the district’s ongoing commitment to creating high-quality learning environments for generations to come.
