Bathrooms Closed for Second Straight Day

Administration has closed many bathrooms for the second straight day.

In an e-mail to staff, Mr. Thompson explained the bathrooms were being closed in an attempt to curtail recent smoking incidents.

On Thursday, the two third floor bathrooms were locked and the boys' bathroom in the science wing was closed for repairs. Students were forced to use the bathrooms near the Main Cafe and the art wing.

Despite efforts to prevent smoking incidents, smoke could still be smelt in the air of the boys' bathroom near the Main Cafe on Thursday during 7th period. On previous days, smoke could also be smelt in the air within this same bathroom.

Flooding Closes Staircase


Thursday nights heavy rain could not be held back by what's left of Smithtown High School East's already failing roof.
School officials closed a portion of the North Tower staircase Friday due to flooding. The section closed, which links the second and third floors, was covered in water leaking in from the ceiling above. Garbage cans and towels have been placed in the staircase to try and contain the leaking water.
The staircase is a vital connection for students attempting to travel between classes in the North and South towers. Students are being rerouted to the emergency staircase, located at the end of the North Tower. Students traveling from the third to first floors must first go down one flight in the emergency staircase and then the rest of the way on the regular staircase.
This staircase has seen its list of issues. School years prior, the staircase was left covered in water, which has found its way from the ceiling.
The Matador will continue to track building conditions and will post updates as news warrants.
