Home and School Minutes
Welcome and Introduction
Alicia Hayes welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming. She introduced Dr Waters who introduced our special speaker, the architect who is in charge of the plans for the renovations to the school starting in June of this year.
-He went over the plans for the building, which includes extensive renovations to both floors and the front of the building. All floors and ceilings are being replaced, bathrooms redone, all new doors and hardware, extension to the library, new electrical service, new roof, new heater/ac unit, new smartboards for the classrooms, generators, extended office suite, new playground equipment and new roadways for bus drop offs and parent lanes. The schedule for work to be done is from 6/14-8/15.
-He reviewed the plans for our move to mods in Pennfield and the procedures for the students once they are in the building. We had the opportunity for questions and answers.
Principal Report
Dr Waters stated we had school Monday to make up for an additional snow day. There is a spirit assembly scheduled for Friday for Black History Month and Hawk awards.
