Mrs. Brown made a presentation and requested to potentially upgrade the lockers, a letter was written to the PTA from the second graders. Requests were made to FOTL for cleaning the lockers and a request was made to BPS to remove the lockers. The solution needs to include a net new storage option for the bag storage. This is a two fold request as the lockers first need to be cleaned, then hopefully need to be replaced. A suggestion was made to possibly have CityYear potentially take on the project.

 

Laura Goodbody gave a room parent program update noting the program is off to a get start but Mr Grimes, Ms Jenkins + Ms Gill, Ms Doherty + Mr Whelen are still looking for room parents.

 

Mrs. Morrissey gave an update on drop off/ pick up traffic safety especially noting you should NOT be pulling onto the sidewalk. Many other options are available for drop off including the bike bus, scooters, parking in other locations like CVS and Walgreen.
