[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - as someone else mentioned, closing any schools has never been on the table for the boundary study, and I don’t see any sign it would be.

Re Thomson, I do hope you will get involved. Thomson has not had a PTO and it would be great for people to get one going. Also there is the Ward 2 Education Council at https://ward2edcouncil.org which is parents across schools organizing for the benefit of all of them; some parents have participated for Thomson from time to time but not as many as for some schools, and I encourage you to.

Finally Thomson is very likely to be feeding into the future MS at Euclid St (old Banneker site) which is pretty easy to reach by bus (or car or bike) from the area. It’s slated to open in fall 2028, when current 1st graders would go. Parents are trying to build up momentum for it and have a strong base of involved parents who help identify what people want in this MS to get a lot of families trying it out from day 1, and especially if your kid is grade 1 or younger, I encourage you to participate in that, which will largely happen through the W2EC.

OP here. Thank for this! We are starting a PTO this year to help fundraise for what staff thinks is needed. And yes! I'm already planning to join. Great to know about the Ward 2 Education Council!

I have heard about the potential switch to Euclid and have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it'll be a brand new school fed by some excellent elementaries, like Garrison and Seaton. And since we live in the Walker-Jones boundary, it'll be closer for us than SWW@FS. On the other, I already know SWW@FS is a great middle, and this is an unknown. Hoping Thomson families will get to choose between the two. Right now, we can choose between Jefferson Middle and SWW@FS, though nearly everyone picks SWW@FS.

Overall, just super glad no one thinks the school will close! Thanks for assuaging my fears![/quote]
