I had a peek inside the new Roosevelt HS atrium for a MacFarland Community Cabinet meeting last night. The small portion of the building that we saw last night is certainly gorgeous. Now, the hard work begins.

A few small updates:

MacFarland has met its enrollment target for the dual language program which will open in August (the full comprehensive MS will open in three years in the renovated MacFarland space).

DCPS has flipped back and forth on this, but the final decision was to co-locate the MacFarland Dual Language students in the Roosevelt building for the next two years.  MS and HS students will have classes on different floors and have limited sharing of special rooms (music, art, etc.).  The bell schedule is under consideration but has not been finalized.

Incoming parents will decide (soon?) if the school will be uniform or non-uniform.

One last note: the school principals Ms. James and Mr. Sanders are interested in community feedback on "branding" for MacFarland in an effort to promote inclusion among the extremely diverse community.  For signage, marketing materials, etc., should the school name be shown as "MacFarland Middle School", "MacFarland Middle School / Escuela Secundaria" or something else? Note: "MacFarland" has to stay.

Have a great weekend!
