This schedule was developed to
maintain the elements of student choice in courses, allow for better timing of
state and national tests, and provide a time for student and teacher
collaboration to address interventions, enrichment's, and learning
opportunities.
Students have the possibility of
earning an extended lunch period by meeting the requirements of their classes
and showing proficiency on the course standards. Teachers will be assigned a Lunch (L) and a
class time (R) when they will be available to provide additional support to all
students. The full design of that hour
long period is being developed by an action team at LHS which includes
students, parents, teachers, and staff.
Minutes of each meeting are being shared out on http://LHSActionteam.blogspot.com
We recognize that this schedule will
require 10 additional minutes before and 10 additional minutes after
school. This impacts our bussing
schedules and other schools. We have
started working with transportation on possible remedies as not to impact the
other schools and bus times. In
recognition of these obstacles we have also created a similar schedule with 55
minute class periods that would allow us to start and end our day at our
current times of 7:40 and 2:35 respectively.
We will also be working with BATC on cooperative schedules that will
allow our students to continue to take courses at the Logan Campus of
BATC.
I don't understand why you would go through all this trouble to input a schedule that is worse than the status quo. What is your purpose behind the change? If your goal is to improve grades it wont work. On your pro and cons list it even states that students workload would increase, how would this help the student? Lazy students will always be lazy and continue to not care, trying to catch their failures sooner will not help as it is habit by now. How is 30 minutes going to increase student moral and grades? What ever happened to going in before or after school if you needed help? Why are you forcing students to skip a class every day, this will only interrupt the learning process. An alternating schedule will only confuse us. Say a student were to miss one day of school this would result in them hypothetically missing twice as much school in some classes. Some classes need every day they can get. AP classes need constant repetition and play and musical need constant practice. As a student at Logan High I recognize that things are not perfect and that change is needed. This is not the change we need, it will solve nothing. So for the sake of all students that love our school let us keep the schedule that gives us the constant repetition we need. I strongly urge you to rethink your stance and let our schedule be.
