we went on a tour of the new school. i honestly can say while i am not happy about having to move from our comfy, cozy school home, i am happy with the school. don't get me wrong, i don't like the location. the neighborhood is crowed and parking will be a problem. the distance and direction isn't something i am a fan of either, but the building it self is nice.
at first it was intimidating. it's huge and very sterile. it doesn't say "i'm a warm and friendly place for your child to be nurtured and welcomes." in fact, i was thinking it was more like "becareful little one, we'll try to keep you safe by having you walk through a metal detector every day." or "get used to it kid, it's better than county"
i know that probaby sounds awful, but i didn't have much to go on.
The gym is huge. The whole school can comfortably fit.
The music room can also fit the whole school and there are acoustical ceilings.
The primary grades have bathrooms in the classrooms, the other classrooms are a good size and will be fitted with smart boards. The 2 schools will be kept separate and run on different operating schedules.
And we have a mother goose. Since the roof is "green" a momma goose has decided to take up residence and raise her babies. How sweet!
It's definately not what we signed up for, but change can be good and there is no sense in going into something with a closed mind unless I want to get closed results.
Here we come Albany Park. Make way for Edison!
