[quote=Anonymous]I am a SSIMS parent and so happy the PTA highlighted the safety and building concerns in a recent letter.

My DD has told me that even when her gym class is using the outdoor track there are community members who they have to run around. I get that it’s not MCPS land, but I don’t think that the public and the school should be on the track at the same time.

She also reports that kids are roaming the halls (this is corroborated by another adult with knowledge of the building). Small things like not being able to keep kids in classrooms make the whole vibe feel out of control.

I just dropped something off to my daughter last week, and saw what she was talking about. Two kids- obvs a couple- were in the hallway NOT between classes having a heated argument. No staff around. (On my way out, I told them to get back to class!)

Fights at lunch are also not uncommon.

If I had another choice, I wouldn’t send my kid there. Lovely families, a kind seeming principal, some good teachers, but the layout of the building I really do believe contributes to some of these problems. It’s huge and rambling with dead-end kind of hallways and the kids are walking along Wayne to get to gym? and it just doesn’t feel safe.

I hope this SSIMS thread is not deleted.
