The library looks great. What an upgrade from the old library. I hope that the students enjoy and appreciate it.

Wow - looks amazing! Why is the Paly campus so much nicer than Gunn? We are suppose to be a "unified" school district.

"Lights in rooms automatically turn off if they're not in use ..."
Need to jump up and flap your arms periodically? In my workplace offices we simply cranked the sensitivity full-high so the lights are now on 24/7. I hope better solutions have evolved.

Most of the photos show students on their phones and laptops, very few looking at books. Maybe there’re downloading the books to their laptops? Lol!

The format of information isn’t really the point. What is vital for an informed, educated society of thinkers and voters is using wonderful resources, in whatever format is most beneficial, like these ones. Lifelong benefits for these students and for our society.

Students, teachers and parents should read Michelle Obama's "Becoming." While Palo Alto is not Chicago when Michelle was growing up in South Side of Chicago, we all can use her lessons such as "If you’d had a head start at home, you were rewarded for it at school, deemed “bright” or “gifted,” which in turn only compounded your confidence. The advantages aggregated quickly..."

@4good: Our bell schedules are not even the same. Gunn and Paly are two different schools with many differences. "Unified" refers to it being connected to the elementary and middle schools. If they weren't unified (Los Altos is not unified) then the high schools could have a separate academic calendar than the K-8. We could bring back Ski Week!
I heard that the next construction project is the snack bar area.
Please get rid of the portables in the middle of campus! That is long overdue.
