Edgerton Trails is a state-of-the-art PreK-5 facility, designed to accommodate the growing population of Rockford Public Schools. The colorful interior is inspired by the elementary science curriculum; each grade is housed in distinct “neighborhoods” that reflect local habitats. The neighborhoods — The Pond, The Woodlands, The Lakes and The Dunes — provide age-appropriate and fun environments that connect back to what they are learning. Students can feel emotionally and physically safe as the layout ensures they interact primarily with their peers in spaces designed specifically for their developmental stage. Glass windows and double doors into the adjoining extended learning areas enable students and staff to feel connected to the entire grade-level community. At the heart of Edgerton Trails is the learning commons, a vibrant media center that serves as the school’s central hub. The commons is designed for large-scale instruction and collaboration and provides direct access to the STEM room and art room. This new school not only meets the existing needs of the growing community but also is designed to inspire and empower future generations of learners.
