The Building and Grounds Department works year round - during the summer, during the day, during the night, as well as weekends - providing the staff and students of Blackhawk School District with well maintained academic and athletic facilities. We oversee the entire district’s preventative and corrective maintenance, improvements, renovations, long-range planning, and day-to-day building operations including electrical, mechanical, and plumbing needs, snow and ice removal, mowing, setup for events and respond to after hour’s emergencies. In addition to the grounds keeping for all four school buildings, we also handle all district athletic fields. The Maintenance staff consists of the Facilities Director, a groundskeeper and four maintenance technicians.. The Building and Grounds Department also employs a crew of approximately 21 custodians responsible for cleaning and maintaining each building as well.  


The Building and Grounds Department uses FMX for all maintenance and schedule requests.  The links on the upper right hand side of this page can be used to enter a maintenance request or a schedule request.  FMX is very user friendly and it seems everyone is able to use it with ease.  The key to our success is constant communication.  If you have entered a request of any kind, please let us know if you do not hear from us in a timely manner.

The district’s buildings and fields are available for use by the outside public under district-set policies and procedures. Persons wishing to schedule an event may use the Schedule Request link at the top of this page.
