Grade 7/8 Schedule Update
We are making a slight change to the schedule for our grade 7 and 8 students. Due to some ongoing issues during our afternoon break (2:25 PM – 2:35 PM) we have decided to change the schedule to make two smaller breaks in the afternoon. Currently, many students are not using the break for its intended purpose. This leads to behaviour, at break, that interrupts many student’s ability and readiness to learn for periods 7 and 8. The current break allows students to walk the halls for 10 minutes. This has proven itself to be difficult to supervise so everyone feels safe.
This new schedule will begin on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. We will be meeting with students on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 to discuss the reasons behind this decision. Many students are already aware this is happening.
The updated schedule will look like this for the grades 7s and 8s.
There is no change to the grade 5/6 schedule.
