Note:

  • If your rental is approved, you will be notified to submit your security deposit, certificate of insurance (required for all rentals), rental fees, as well as personnel fees. 
  • Our application process utilized a system called "Droplet". Please be on the lookout, as communication is initiated by that system.
  • Summer availability of rentals, which includes June and July, will be posted soon. 
  • August is a closed month for rentals, as schools are hosting events for Back to School and scheduling events for the coming year.
  • Our summer rentals are minimized each year to accommodate summer programs, capital projects, and cleaning schedules. Once approved by the BOE each spring, the available facilities are posted to this site.
  • No rentals for the month of August to allow our schools the opportunity to calendar their events and utilize all spaces as needed.

  • Additional information, usage terms, and requirements is located in the facility rental application (located above).
