Dear HS Parents,
As you may be aware we made some changes to the HS schedule during this academic year.
The main changes were
7.15 -7.50 am Additional HL instructional time
7.50 am All classes (except IB HL classes) started at this later time
Advisory met four times a week in the mid-morning
12.40 pm Lunch took place after three classes
2.50-3.30 pm Clubs took place after school
3.40-5.10 pm Athletics and Arts events were during this time period.
As planned, we conducted a review of the new HS schedule collecting feedback from teachers and students from February through March.
The feedback that we received was mixed, but there was general support to:
- Move the lunch period earlier
- Have less frequent, but longer advisory periods
- Consider moving clubs back into the school day
Based on the feedback received from faculty and students we have made some adjustments to the schedule for the 2022-23 school year. This schedule has been shared with faculty in recent weeks and with HS students today. You can see a copy of that schedule and rotation by clicking HERE.
Some key features of the new schedule
- 7.50 am Start time for all classes except HL classes
- 10.50 am -11.20 am Panther Block (assembly, advisory, clubs)
- 11.20 am – 12.00 pm Lunch
- Two classes before lunch and two classes after lunch
- 3.00 – 5.00 pm Afterschool Activities/Clubs/Arts/Athletics take place during this time period.
Mr. Anthony Giles, Mr. Chris Mott, and Mr. Peter Assimakopoulos will be sending further details to students about the Arts/Cultural, Athletics, and Service Club programs respectively at the start of the school year.
We look forward to supporting our students in their academic, service, artistic, cultural, and athletic pursuits for 2022-23 with the implementation of this adjusted schedule.
