[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a current SSIMS parent and I don’t think it’s just trolls here. I’m here. I am really unhappy with the state of the building, the lack of control, the chaotic nature of the place. There is nothing lifting the place up. It has these two immersion programs but … still no feeling of specialness. It is super disappointing. I think if you’ve got an other choice, look elsewhere. It’s the first time I have ever seen firsthand, for real, the negative impact of physical surroundings on people. Like- the feng shui of the place is so bad, it affects behaviors. [/quote]

I think it’s getting even worse now due to the work on the purple line.  The building is surrounded by construction equipment, torn up roads,  concrete barriers, detours, and debris. Walking to and from school must be a nightmare for some of the students. The Bethesda Beat article mentioned [b]the difficulty students had exiting the building during a fire drill last year. That was before the construction began.[/b] I can’t imagine the difficulty they would have now. The SSIMS community deserves a safe building that is designed for middle schoolers, not the chopped up chaotic mess they have now. [/quote]

No, the construction has been going on far longer than that.[/quote]

Construction on the building, itself.  Scheduled to start this summer.  Not the construction on the Purple Line.[/quote]

Unfortunately, the construction on the building itself is not going to resolve the issue with the problematic rear stairway that caused the delay in exiting. That part of the project was removed, and now the construction will only be happening in the former Blair auditorium area at the front of the school.[/quote]
