Wooten Elementary School
As part of the 2022 Bond, Wooten Elementary School has broken ground on a full modernization of the existing campus at its current location. The new building will feature flexible learning spaces to support a variety of learning styles, will improve overall safety and is designed by and for the Wooten community. Project design began spring 2023 and the modernized campus is anticipated to open for the start of the spring 2026 semester. During construction, all school activities will temporarily relocate, or “swing” into portable buildings at Webb Middle School, 601 E St Johns Ave, Austin, TX 78752.
