Block Schedule / 7 Period Day Survey
For the past three years, Glendale Unified has implemented a 7-period block schedule at every middle and high school. We would like to hear your thoughts about the benefits and challenges of both the block schedule (longer periods, not every period every day) AND the 7-period schedule (7 classes within the regular school day, no 0 period). Please complete this short survey by Friday, April 26. Consider the block schedule and the 7-period schedule separately.

Mindfulness Moment
The month of April is dedicated to practicing mindful decision making. When we are mindful about the choices we make, the decision-making process becomes a thoughtful, cognitive exercise, rather than an impulsive reaction to immediate needs.
“Never make permanent decisions on temporary feelings.”
The decisions we make can affect our lives forever. Always take some time to reflect and look inward before making a life altering decision.
Chromebook Tip of the Week!
Be sure to leave your Chromebook chargers at home. If you charge your Chromebook fully each day there is no need to bring it with you. If your Chromebook doesn't hold a charge for the entire school day after being fully charged please bring your Chromebook to the library.
Visit the Wilson Student Help Corner Website where you can find video tutorials answering your frequently asked questions about apps used in your classrooms. We also have tutorials in Armenian and Spanish.
