Oh that’s no good.  What made it so bad?  And why don’t they just leave things alone with the schedule?  My DD is not happy about it and I have apprehensions.[/quote]

What about the schedule is changing?[/quote]

45 min classes, less study halls, no 8th grade confirmation classes. It’s bad when the students and faculty BOTH agree about what a terrible change it is. A lot of families feel blindsided by this because we got an email on April 30 with no clarity about what was changing. I wasn’t at the meeting but heard it went off the rails for over two hours. [/quote]

Are any of the parents in favor of the changes?  Given my DD’s insane sports schedule (same for other kids) we kind of need those study halls….   I also don’t like trying to shorty the class periods.  Can parents get a petition together to change it?  I mean what was so bad about the 8 day cycle?!?  It was strange at first but once we got used it, I thought it was great![/quote]

You can hire a private tutor to homeschool your child around their sports schedule. If they are nationally ranked, you would already be doing it. These schools are not babysitters.[/quote]

This is really not a helpful reply to my comment. I’m not suggesting the school is a babysitter in the least.  My kiddo is there for an education.  But changing the schedule gives the girls fewer study halls for getting work done.  That will make the juggling act that much harder for all families.  My DD is worried about it and it sounds like other parents are as well.[/quote]
