Although it's impossible to please everyone, we are trying to respond to some suggestions our Foundations students had after one week of the program. Here are some of the suggestions and our plans to address students' concerns.
1. Include room locations for all activites on schedule--we will do this, just an oversight.
2. Make us aware of changes--we thought we were, but just to formalize this, each day at 11:30 after class we will have a "briefing." This will start on Tuesday as there is a staff meeting at 11:30 on Monday.
3. Change the time of weekend breakfast. We have spoken to the cafeteria about later breakfasts on weekends. The cafeteria needs to check with the Dance Camp that is also eating in our cafeteria. More details on this later.
4. Make recreational activities optional. We tried this on the first few days and very few showed up. We are paying our Recreation staff to plan and carry out activities. It is hard for them to plan when they have no idea how many will show up. Sorry, no change on this.
5. Let us pick some activites. This weekend there was a choice of going to mini golf/driving range OR bowling. Most of the group wanted mini golf, so that was what we did.
Please remember that you guys are 'pioneers' who are paving the way for other young people on the spectrum. Let's work together to make improvements that work for all of us.
