Although I am not new to RPEMS - I teach middle school visual art - my daughter, Aszana is.<br /> I am sure tons of our kids attend the TWIGS program offered at Baltimore School for the Arts. I am not sure if there has been any type of informal twigs car pooling. My daughter attends Monday afternoons from 4-6pm.<br /> If anyone is interested in car pooling, please let me know.<br /> Vanessa<br /> <a href="mailto:vanessa10033@hotmail.com">vanessa10033@hotmail.com</a> </p> http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/topic/footbikeand-car-pools#post-15 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:50:40 +0000 briggs.wolfenden 15@http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/ <p>I'm pleased to see the discussion re traffic and some ideas being generated that don't involve adding turning lanes to Roland Ave and chopping down trees. However, I am thinking a good deal about the validity of encouraging a coop approach to school transportation-in part because I live in Tuxedo Park and find the increase in traffic and traffic speed each September a little frightening. Sending all those cars south to u-turn at St. Johns will no doubt create yet another clog and more dangerous conditions for the current walkers and bikers from St. Johns and elsewhere in the southern neighborhoods.<br /> We are big fans here of mass transit of schoolchildren; we have a 10th grade AM/PM BSA bus rider and had four years of the Fabulous City College carpool-first one car, them expanding to two. Last year there were 8 kids from T.Park and Evergreen and we only drove one week out of 6!!!!A gas and nerve saver bar none!<br /> We also have a neighborhood "footpool", another great advantage for all. PLEASE lets find a way to connect folks who are able to car(/bike or foot)pool to reduce energy consumption, traffic congestion, and parental stress levels. Sign ups on line or elsewhere linking folks by street, grade, neighborhood or whatever- with technology this could be easily accomplished for those who would like to give it a try.<br /> Thanks all<br /> Sarah<br /> Owen, 2nd </p> http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/topic/incentives#post-14 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:45:40 +0000 ebgrabowski 14@http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/ <p>The idea of incentives for walking/biking/carpooling to school is troubling to me because the decision is not one that my son can make on his own. I drive him to school because of my work schedule and safety issues involved in crossing busy city streets. </p> <p>Have there been any discussions about what these incentives might be and at whom they would be directed? </p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Libby Grabowski<br /> (mom of Stephen, 05-02) </p> http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/topic/school-lunch-menu#post-8 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:53:02 +0000 JulieG 8@http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/ <p>Hello:</p> <p>Does anyone know if the school lunch menu is posted on the website and where?

We spent quite a bit of time trying on different shirts and undergarments. White is revealing, girls are conscious of their developing bodies, need I say more? I wrote a note to Ms. Higgins suggesting a darker color (red?) for future consideration, especially for the 6th grade. </p> http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/topic/introductions#post-6 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:09:26 +0000 cori.rivers@gmail.com 6@http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/ <p>Not sure that any 8th grade parents, students, teachers or staff read this forum.

I'm wondering how many kids are in the class. If you know, please share. It's hard to interact with the teacher with all the chaos of the new year. Will there be a class parent like we had last year? </p> http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/topic/how-many-kids-are-in-ms-rices-class#post-4 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:37:33 +0000 Administrator 4@http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/ <p>Ms. Rice. Welcome to 2nd grade! How many kids are in your class? How are you liking your first week as a 2nd grade teacher? Do you need computers or other items in your classroom? This may be a good place to make requests from parents. We'll see how it goes. </p> http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/topic/thank-you-mr-jusem#post-2 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:31:41 +0000 Ms.Rice 2@http://rolandparkpublic.org/forums/ <p>This should be an efficient way to share information! </p>
