• Welcome
• In person learning update
o Parents/Caregivers Feedback: In person learning is going well. Students love
being back with their friends. The switch from hybrid to full time was a bit of an
adjustment based on the new class size. Allowing students to remove their
masks at recess has been great. Previously, students would come home from
school talking about the different cohorts. Now, the view is one big classroom.
o Teacher Feedback: In person learning has been great! So nice to step away from
the hybrid model which was confusing and challenging to juggle two different
groups of students. It is much easier to have one group of students. The students
appear to be really happy to be back.
• Summer Building Improvement Projects & Relocation -
o Beginning shortly, the entire vestibule is going to be renovated. The brick and
electrical components are going to be covered up. New lighting installed and
white paint which will brighten space. The solar project installation will commence
the week of June 15th. Within the building, the LLP program and reading/math
Bowman Elementary School 19 Philip Road I Lexington, MA 102421
coaches are swapping spaces. Painting will also occur in the AP offices and EST
office.
• Hiring Update
o Meetings are being held now to with SSP's and IA's who no longer have fte's
associated with Bowman. They have the opportunity to move to another position
within the district. As a result of lower enrollment in other schools, some teachers
are also being displaced. We have to consider those individuals prior to hiring
someone outside of LPS.
