Bartlett Tree Service -- June 27, 2011

Capitol Hill Day School has contracted with Bartlett Tree Service to repair the damage to the trees resulting from Paxton Van Lines' trucks. Bartlett completed this project on June 29, 2011.

We will also do some extra work on the tree at the corner of South Carolina Avenue and 2nd Streets, SE so the stop sign is more visible. This might help reduce the number of drivers who turn up 2nd Street with complete disregard for the stop sign and/or the pedestrians in the crosswalk.

We have requested the City through the DC On-line Support Center to replace the maple tree opposite 533 2nd Street, SE which is dying. Casey Tree Service, which manages the trees in the District, but the request for service has to be channeled through the Mayor's non-emergency line.

For additional information contact Jim Woolwine, Business Manager, Capitol Hill Day School, (202) 386-9926 or via email (jimw@chds.org).

Technology -- Pack-out Challenge

Mark Anderson, Paxton Van Lines, reviews our computer inventory with Galen Wenger, CITI Manager, to make sure that all the School's computers are inventoried and identified for interim use in the swing space, 1000 5th Street, SE; the adjacent townhouse, 214 South Carolina Avenue, SE; St. Mark's Episcopal Church for Summer Camp; or placed in temporary storage until we return to a renovated Dent School.

Galen was attentive, as well, to make sure that computers identified for replacement and the new computers we are ordering are integrated into the move scenario.

Emergency No Parking June 20 - 21, 2011

Capitol Hill Day School will restrict parking in front of the School on South Carolina Avenue, SE, and on 2nd Street, SE adjacent to the School on Monday and Tuesday, June 20-21 to enable Paxton Van Lines to pack us up and out!

Monday will be the last day for faculty. Monarc Construction, our contractor, will report on Tuesday June 21st to begin the building renovations.

And so ends academic year 2010-2011.
