Heather Park School is about to become the largest elementary school in District 57. With students from the former Austin Road and Springwood Elementary Schools, enrollment is expected to hit close to 700 students.
I believe a CKPG news crew needs to visit during a recess and/or lunch hour to try and capture some of the chaos and overcrowding the children and teachers/supervisors are forced to deal with. I experienced recess today and was terrified, thinking of the endless possibilities of injury. Not only that, the school yard is definitely not suited for young children, especially the back which contains a very steep hill with a cement barricade at the bottom. It made me scared for them all, especially once the bell had rang and ALL the near 700 children stampeded towards the doors.
