I hope that DJ will go through the list of items that need to be addressed. Many items on this list were not answered properly but only read through and even then not all of them were addressed during the session. Perhaps he can send out a memo with many of the issues and concerns that were addressed in this chat forum. Much appreciated

Kudos to Mr. D., the new MS math teacher, for starting a math team.  He saw a need and is filling it

Yes, thank you. Look forward to follow-up (and supporting that as the school feels appropriate).

What about kids that need to be challenged to do more?.  The other end of "needs".  It's very hard to get teachers to really help kids excel.  My middle schooler is often bored in class.  The teachers REALLY try, but need more support.  1 person can't be everywhere at once.   Learning support is often in the classroom for LS, but not in MS

“Just right” for size makes sense. But I am not sure
how it applies more broadly in identifying who and what the school is - both existing and prospective teachers, both existing and prospective students. This is especially true given today’s discussion.

At his last coffee, Rob said DP Arts (maybe drama would stay, but music was out) was being dropped.  9th and 10th music students are not requied to be in band for SEA block, so numbers dropped. Pushed band room to farthest spot on campus.  I wonder if Mr Sato isn't feeling like the school is committed.  Not confident in keeping my middle schooler for high school

Band was moved to the portables. DP Music was dropped. There are rumors Mr Sato is leaving. Follow the dots. This path will not support a child who wants to pursue, or simply learn about, music.

Is Kent really leaving?  Is music really being dropped from the HS?

More after school help should be available to the children. Teachers have long days but if a child needs help this should not be considered outside “tutoring” and parents have to pay. This will allow classroom work to progress forward & teachers don’t have to stop for majority of kids so the teacher can help a handful of children.

We have a mission statement. But what defines the school? Why would someone look at LJA if they are also looking at other schools on the island?

If there's ONE child reeking (so?)havoc in a grade, do you guys ever ask/tell a kid not to come back to school? One bad seed .... Rocks an entire grade's classroom dynamics

Do you have to re-evaluate admissions to school if there is an increase in academic rigour? And how might that change this special culture?

There seems to be a major concern amongst parents that Lower School's 'no homework policy' is not preparing our kids for middle school. Can we at least have some structured homework for grade 4-5?

Why does MS have summative s due on the same day?   I hear how there are 2 OR 3 due on 1 day. This school is small enough for the teachers to speak to each other and work on this.

Thank you for being brave to hear our concerns and issues. I feel that my kids want to come to school, they have teachers that care, and they are happy.
