Incoming Fifth Graders Unlock Locker Skills

Published: Aug 21, 2018 8:30 am

Reed Intermediate School fifth graders were invited to visit the school on August 8 and 15 to practice opening lockers.

For students in Newtown Public Schools, fifth grade is the first chance to use lockers. Reed Principal Anne Uberti and Assistant Principal Jill Bontatibus-Beaudry welcomed or spoke to them as they practiced opening lockers on August 15.

“Today is just to practice,” Ms Bontatibus-Beaudry reminded the students, who will be assigned lockers at the start of the 2018-19 school year.

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
