                  Proposed Schedule Tweak for Second Semester

                  We have not heard any concerns about the proposed schedule tweak. When we begin Second Semester, we will implement the following changes for Tuesday-Friday:
                  • add 5 min to Morning Advisory; 
                  • bump Periods 1 & 2 out 5 minutes, so Period 2 ends at 10:05; 
                  • establish 10:05-10:20 as Break (including Snack) and establish Faculty Duty slots to supervise the Lounge, Small Gym, 6th G Hallway;
                  • Maintain mid-morning activities from 10:20-10:50 and Period 3 beginning at 10:55. 
                  • Maintain the current schedule for Mondays because of the immovable AS Chapel slot at 10:00am.
                    

                  Think about...
