[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  Some of the PPs mentioned study hall.  Does everyone have to take one study hall per semester or is that just an option?  When I went to school there wasn’t study hall until high school and it was optional-  it could take the place of an elective.  Does APS make everyone take study hall as part of an “equity homework policy” or something?[/quote]

DHMS offers a short study hall/Phoenix Time on block days when kids can go talk to teachers to ask questions, finish homework, etc. They sometimes do other group activities or meetings during that time as well. In previous years, they also offered short, rotating learning seminars during this time but I don't think they offer that anymore. That time is used for many purposes, not "equity".

I believe Williamsburg has a similar "Wolf Time". Not sure about other MSs.

Thanks for explaining further.[/quote]
