Great work - you've completed a tremendous amount of work in a very short time and your whole team should be quite proud. The Sketch Up rendering shows your material intentions quite clearly.
A few things to think about for next time. Sketch Up is so quick and easy, especially if you just want simple, solid boxes. It would have been good to roughly model the existing school buildings for context. Many designers would just show gray boxes, without definition of material or windows. We do this to illustrate scale comparison and proximity. There are also many free Sketch Up downloads for vehicles, landscaping and people - what professionals call 'entourage' in a rendering. These elements bring your images alive to viewers. Again, these help your viewers grasp scale - we all know how big a car is, but we may not realize how tall your building is.
Keep up the hard work and good efforts.
