Starting Our Second Trimester
We have officially begun our second trimester! I am so proud of our students for tackling a new challenge this year with our trimester schedule. It's already difficult enough to be a middle school kid, but when you add in an unfamiliar schedule, it can be a real curve ball for some students. Keeping that in mind, we have altered a few things about our schedule that we think will have an immediate positive impact on our students going forward. Here is a breakdown of the changes:
- Tribe has been moved to 3rd period. This move allows us to add an additional 5 minutes to this important time for our students. Mondays will still consist of activities focusing on our "Every Monday Matters" program. Tuesday-Thursday will be structured intervention time for students who may need extra help in classes. Fridays will be club meetings. Although, we will not be having club meetings this Friday.
- Lunch has been split into 3 shifts (A,B, & C). Early returns from today's lunch shifts were very encouraging. By adding a 3rd lunch, we have been able to reduce the number of students per shift by about 100. As a result, students had more time and space to eat and socialize with friends in their particular shift. You can see the full schedule below.
