Prince George, B.C. – Students at the Highglen Montessori School begin their first day of classes at the old Gladstone Elementary School this morning.
The school district had to find an alternate facility for the 236 students and staff after Highglen was damaged by fire last Monday. Gladstone Elementary, which had been closed by the district due to low enrolment, will be home to the Montessori students for the foreseeable future while decisions are made about the future of Highglen.
Meantime District 57 has arranged for shuttle bussing between the two schools. The schedule is as follows:
Mornings (Monday to Friday)
Bus Arrives at Highglen – 8:10 am
Bus Leaves Highglen – 8:20 am
Bus Arrives at Gladstone- 8:38 to 8:40 am
Afternoons (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday)
Bus Arrives at Gladstone – 2:39 pm
Bus Leaves Gladstone – 2:59 pm
Bus Arrives at Highglen – 3:15 to 3:20 pm
Afternoon (Wednesday)
Bus Arrives at Gladstone – 1:40 pm
Bus Leaves Gladstone – 1:50 pm
Bus Arrives at Highglen – 2:10 pm (approximately)
Parents are advised that students are to be at the stop at least 5 minutes prior to bus departure time.
Comments
Good luck in your new school teachers and students. I hope everthing works out for you.
First off to the ignoramus who made the comment about me calling this a horrifying sight. My grandson does Not watch any TV. As for him witnessing the school burning he was at the site watching as the firefighters worked on putting out the blaze. He took Joey the turtle home and has been taking care of him. He has also visited the burnt out school since it was put out and by doing this it has opened up opportunities for a dialogue on how he feels and for us to answer any questions he may have.
Now as to the Horrifying sight comment; it was meant not only to describe the sight but the entire loss of a very UNIQUE school that took twenty years in the making. The school was filled with creative, fun learning tools. The school held memories too insurmountable to be calculated. By students,teachers and parents alike. Just walking into the school you FELT the differences from other schools.
The AMAZING teachers and everyone connected who has reached out to them and the school in general may you all be COMMENDED. You are doing a FABULOUS job. You are going through a very trying time but things will eventually work out. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
And to my daughter Courtney and my grandson Dominic you too have stepped up FABULOUSLY. You make me proud.
