[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because attendance would tank if they did Monday or Friday.[/quote] So they don't want to make it helpful or useful to parents. It's all about inconvenience?? Half days on Friday would be nice. We'd still go to school in the morning and then start the weekend early. Additionally, adult work schedules are always lightest on Monday and Fridays. It's not easy to get coverage on a random Wednesday afternoon. [/quote] They did half days on Fridays the first year and found a drop off in attendance as a lot of people just started their weekend on Friday instead of sending their kids to school in the morning. I agree it's an inconvenience for parents for what has become pointless (they're no longer learning a new curriculum, which was the point of implementing these half days in the first place) and I would rather have them on a Friday, but I understand the move.[/quote]
