When children in MetroWest<br />
head back to school in August,<br />
one-half of the elementary-age<br />
students will attend a new school<br />
adjacent to their old one.<br />
Orange County Public Schools is<br />
building a new elementary school<br />
next to the existing MetroWest<br />
Elementary School. Currently<br />
more than 1,600 youngsters attend<br />
MWES, twice its design<br />
capacity.<br />
“This will allow students to have<br />
a school that’s typical, rather than<br />
with 200 percent crowding,” said<br />
Lauren Roth, spokesperson for<br />
the school district.<br />
With the current crowding, some<br />
children eat lunch as early as<br />
10:30 in the morning and as late as<br />
1:45 in the afternoon. Each school<br />
will have its own media center and<br />
playgrounds. The schools also will<br />
each have nurses, guidance counselors,<br />
music teachers and media<br />
specialists.<br />
“If the students are in a more<br />
ideally sized school, the resources<br />
will be adequate to the number<br />
of students,” Roth said. “Students<br />
also will be able to form more personal<br />
relationships” with the principal<br />
and other staff members.<br />
Two MetroWest Schools<br />
The schools will have their own<br />
entrances and parent drop-off<br />
loops, and the district is considering<br />
staggering the start and finish<br />
times to assist with transportation<br />
needs. Although the schools will<br />
be side by side, they each will<br />
have different names. Patricia<br />
G. Smith was named principal.<br />
