Dear Bates Middle School Community:
Start High School Later than 8 am rather than at 7:17 am. Do you agree? If so, come to the Board of Education on Riva Road on Wed, Nov 20th wearing black to show your support. Black is the color of the sky when your student heads to the bus.
- Start School Later Initiative asking for support at Nov
20th's BOE Meeting:
If you agree that the early High School start times are harming kids
physically, mentally, and academically, please come to the Parham Building
on Riva Road at 7pm wearing black! A number of speakers are lined
up, but it is packing a room that really counts, to deliver the message to
the Board that "We’ve presented the science, you’ve studied it, your
CAC has recommended action for over a decade. We, the community,
want you to come up with a plan for implementation of an 8:00 a.m. minimum
start time for all Anne Arundel County Students for 2014 school year. No child
should have to be on the bus before 7:00 a.m." For more
information, or if you'd like to speak, contact AHS parent, Heather
Macintosh: Heather@StartSchoolLater.net
Thanks, Deirdre
