Saskatoon's public school board says its new Willowgrove School is set to open March 9.

Parents were sent a notice Thursday about the start of classes and told that more information about the transition of students and staff to the new school will be provided "in the coming days."

Constructed as a joint venture project with the public and Catholic school boards, the building's opening date has been postponed several times.

Public system students will go to Willowgrove School and students of the Catholic system will attend Holy Family.

The school is located near Wallace Park in the centre of the Willowgrove neighbourhood.
