Principal’s Report

 

  • Kindergarten enrollment has held steady at 4 classes.
  • All but one “typical” preschool slot is filled.  Room renovations are done; fencing on the playground is done.  PASE has funded some terrific playground equipment.  All HIPP Staff are hired.  Open house will be on September 1st, orientation will be on September 6th and 7th.  The first full day of preschool will be on September 8th.
  • Skyline Roofing will be repairing the HPS roof, which caused water damage to the music room and computer room walls.  Gail will check on the insurance policy with Lee Ann to see if our repair costs are covered.

Old Business

 

  • Doug will contact the HDC to discuss our potential SAU parking solution.
  • Gail and Doug have also discussed expanding HPS parking by adding some angled spaces to the oval at the north end of the building.  This could create approximately 16 spaces which are sorely needed, Gail stated.
  • Doug and Harry are to meet with Rich, Steve Simons and Tom Enright to discuss the Farley Building land boundary change.  Anita and Kathy want it noted that they do not support giving any more land to the H/B Coop without monetary compensation.
