Updates from the Facilities Department

This week the Facilities Department will be welcoming our summer students who will be joining us for the next four months.  Our students become a very important part our Facilities team.  They assist with lawn care, painting, minor renovations, as well as plumbing and electrical tasks.

Now that spring has sprung, we are getting our schools’ track and field facilities ready for the upcoming season.  We are floating our tracks and rototilling our jumping pits.  Our staff are also currently providing support for our schools’ grad ceremonies during this exciting time of year for our graduating students.   In preparation for our summer projects, we are also reviewing and coordinating materials and contractors.  Our projects include reroofing two schools, refinishing gym floors, lighting retrofits, a parking lot upgrade, flooring upgrades, as well as regular maintenance.

On behalf of all the BTPS custodial staff, we would like to wish Jeannie Sorochan a long happy retirement!  Jeannie was hired March 1995 as a full-time custodian.  For 27 years, she has been making J.R. Robson sparkle with her friendly smile and upbeat personality.  Thank you, Jeannie, for your contribution to making J. R. Robson a great place to learn and work.

After a well-deserved spring break, our custodial staff are back to work following the Enhanced Cleaning Protocols.  Thanks goes out to all staff for minimizing clutter and encouraging tidiness in our schools.  Your efforts are appreciated!
