Notre Dame's lower division enrolls students in junior kindergarten through fifth grade. The school's main campus is for students in grades six through 12.
According to Jason Shannon, the project manager with IMS, a Bolingbrook, Ill.-based company that is overseeing the construction, the first layer of asphalt for the parking lot will be poured Monday. He says the building passed a preliminary fire inspection earlier this week and that everything on the project looks to be on schedule for its August opening.
