I do not support this- my daughter will be 11 going into grade 7, and as much as they say that “they will be separate from the 9-12’s”, that is far too young to be even slightly exposed to some of the things that occur in and around the high school.
Considering all classes, and the impact to music classes, gym and team sports, and the growth of high school aged kids in the next few years, installing portables at Northport is a better idea.
I am a school.bus driver.. mom of 4 boys..grandmother to 8. I can't think of one positive thing this would do for any of the students..7/8's or high school. I've heard a few other ideas that would be a much better options. 1-6 in one school and 7-8 in the other..or portables.
I do not support this move. Our children should not be the experiment! The Board should have been on top of the projected growth in our area and how to solve this issue for years instead of throwing a quick fix into the mix that has a lot of cons to the plan.
Do not support this short term solution to a long term problem. Reconsider this solution and implement one of the other community suggested solutions (ex: expanding current Norrhport location to include the fields behind it).
Bad idea. Poor planning school board has had 5 years to sort this out knowing registrations were going to increase.
This is a terrible idea and would have to be undone when the high school is over populated in a few years

I don’t agree with this at all. Kids are already growing up too fast and so many look forward to Grade 8 grad and so many other things. Not to mention having 7s and 8s with the younger grades allows them to step up and mentor the younger kids.
