Community-wide collaboration has resulted in a comprehensive plan of proposed relocations for middle school co-curricular programs and activities for the 2011-2012 school year, while Quaker Valley Middle School undergoes a major renovation. In addition, the plan includes those community-based programs that traditionally have been housed at the middle school.
The district shared the plans with the school board on February 8, and QVMS Principal Sean Aiken shared the plan with parents who attended his scheduled parent coffee on February 16.
Mr. Aiken along with Michael Mastroianni, Director of Athletics and Activities held many meetings with coaches and sponsors of middle school sports and activities to determine the needs of each group prior to Mr. Mastroianni’s meeting with various community groups to locate alternative venues.
“We are fortunate to have strong community partners that we can call on at a time like this. Everyone was very generous with their facilities to accommodate our program schedules. Mr. Aiken and I did not want to abandon any programs and we wanted to try to keep them centralized to the schools and Sewickley Village,” Mr. Mastroianni said. With the help of the community, we came up with a plan that accomplishes those goals.”
The next step in the process has already begun. The district transportation department is working on the bus schedules and routes that will transport the middle school students to all afterschool programs.
