Windows
Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, May 31st you may start to see work beginning on the window project. 2-4 trailers will be delivered and we have requested they be stored in the following spaces to conserve parking spots (originally they wanted to take the whole Lower School Lot):
- 1-2 on the black top by the kickball diamond
- 1 in the grass next to the driveway entrance by the kindergarten Play structures
- 1 on the grass in front of the Lower School parking lot.
There also may be some signs posted in the Lower School Parking Lot on random days stating not to park in a specific spot. This is due to needed space to take down the grates on the windows. This week and next week new windows should be installed in the electrical room, boiler room and the 2nd grade storage space. More details will follow as we get an update. Attached you will find a document to help you think about packing up your space for the summer.
Fresh Fruit and Veggie Delivery
Our fruits are being delivered to the school late and they will be dispersed on Thursday and Friday (pineapple & peppers w/dressing) due to the holiday this week.
Room Allocation Draft
We have several Facilities projects that will take place here over the summer such as new windows, placing walls in rooms and updating space for use. There was a list submitted to facilities and they have approved which projects they will complete. While we appreciate all the ideas you may have on how to improve this building, this list can not be changed or added to at this time. We are looking for your feedback as to where we have placed rooms for next year. Please review the Room Assignment Map for next year and submit all feedback and questions in this Google Form Here. Feedback is due by Friday, June 2nd.
Homework Policy Draft
About 20 staff came together to discuss a K-8 Homework Policy for next year when we add 40 minutes to the school day. We are hoping to get some feedback from staff before we share it at SSC in June. Please read through the document and leave any suggestions and questions in this Google Form Here. Feedback is due by Friday, June 2nd.

Please note that PACE has recess scheduled on the play structures daily from 9:45-10:15 & 1:30-2:00. To help maintain safe student to staff ratio they should be the only classes on the play structure at that time. Otherwise recess is outside from 10:40-11:40 on the play structures and 12:00-1:20 on the play structures, black top and field.
