• After their snack break, a teacher noticed pieces of apple on the floor under a table and asked for help cleaning it up. While many students argued that it wasn't theirs, one student immediately jumped up and cleaned it up, despite it not being hers. She is always willing to help out and models support and teamwork every day. Thank you!

Another milestone- site selection! On October 27, the Robinson School Building Committee voted to move forward with the Abbot School site. We now know that whatever the final design looks like, this project will involve closing Robinson, it will serve grades PK–5, and be located at Abbot. Its central location keeps school boundaries (redistricting) more balanced than Farmer Way, which sits in the northern part of town and would have served students from the far south while nearby families were assigned to other schools.

Next, the committee is taking a closer look at the existing Abbot building. The committee learned that any reuse of that building will require major code upgrades; there is no low-cost way to keep it in service, whether as town/school offices or as school space. The real choices are to invest in it, leave it vacant, or demolish it, and all three are being studied. If Abbot needs investment either way, the question is how to get the most value from that investment for the town. Save the date for our next community forums on Tuesday, November 17, at 6:30 PM (Stony Brook Middle School and Zoom) or Friday, November 20, at noon (Zoom only).
