Now, the project is expected to be completed in late October/early November, in time for the school community to move in for the week commencing 17 December.
Temporary arrangements to accommodate pupils at McLaren High School during the works were due to end for the start of the 2018/19 academic year.
However, severe winter weather and construction issues saw the planned entry date moved back until the October holidays.
Convener of the Children and the Young People Committee, Councillor Susan McGill said: "This long-term project will deliver extensive refurbishments and improvements which will make the school a modern and fulfilling environment to learn in and provide the community with a fantastic facility.

"Stirling Council is working with contractors to ensure the completion of the works at the school to the highest possible standard and we are putting in every required resource to achieve this goal.
"Council staff are also on site regularly in order that the works are being delivered according to specifications and to check on progress.
"As we approach completion, key furniture and equipment deliveries are now on site to fit out classrooms.
"To ensure a clean handover, we will use this additional time for thorough checks to ensure the new building is operational and ready for pupils and staff in December.
"Stirling Council would also like to thank the staff and pupils at McLaren High School for their co-operation and assistance in making everyone at Strathyre feel welcome in their temporary home."
