Children in Willowgrove will be headed to class in their own neighbourhood next month.

Classes at Holy Family and Willowgrove schools are scheduled to begin March 9.

The Saskatoon schools were originally scheduled to open at the start of the school year last September, but their openings were pushed back several times because of construction delays.

Students enrolled in the schools, which share one building, have been attending other schools since the beginning of the school year.

About 300 students enrolled in Willowgrove are attending either Dr. John G. Egnatoff or Ecole Forest Grove schools, while Father Robinson and St. Volodymyr have welcomed over 300 students enrolled at Holy Family.

The students and their families will tour the new schools next week while teachers will be given a day to set up their new classrooms.
