This is an urgent issue being discussed among parent groups, as a great number of students are affected, and there is a lot of confusion and misinformation. This seems like the perfect venue to discuss this unfortunate situation, or at the very least give us an update on what is going on and communicate with us. Thank you!

If yes, is there a way to have a list of those teachers/classes?

Many of the teachers allow the students to have these devices during free time. During the winter months is staff confiscating hoodies? If so, is staff providing warm clothing for the students to change in if that is all they on underneath?

We were suppose to discuss the end of year activities and transition to high school. For 30 minutes we are getting lectured about school rules.

Surely this could have been summarized at the end of the meeting. We want to know about the end of the year, and have time to discuss HS prep and issues with Specialty schools. I feel like this is meeting is a bait and switch! Our kids sound like juvenile delinquents, not scholars. This should have been a separate meeting. We have limited time, and with testing tomorrow, we need to make sure our young scholars need to get in the bed early.

However, according to Synergy, my child is registered into Bowie High School for the next school year (2025-2026). We have completed the Transitional OLR and accepted the seat.

What else should I do for my child to be

registered into Eleanor Roosevelt High School?
