I really like the ending of the 2nd and 3rd nine weeks matching natural calendar breaks.

If we could ensure SACC coverage for early out days, that would be helpful for staff that have students enrolled. It's very hard to find coverage without SACC.

The first day back in January being a workday is a great way to "reset" for HS -- so helpful for teachers!

Conferences are hard with such a quick turn around after elementary DCA’s. Also - DCA’s are hard with the week of early release, red ribbon, and Halloween.

October seems to be one of the most exhausting months for teachers. Could we consider a 3 day weekend for them?

In the past they seemed to always fall on the last Wednesday of the month for example but this year they seem more sporadic. I like when they're consistent for planning purposes.

Early release on the days before Thanksgiving and Christmas break is appreciated.

The first 9wks is very difficult with only 8 weeks and out of the eight weeks there are only 4 full weeks. This just always feels very rushed and hurried. Many district Quips happen along with celebrations that make this a very difficult grading period for students and teachers. I wonder if we can lengthen it.

It's difficult to have longer weekends close to a progress report or grading period, less time for students to recover.

1st semester is very difficult due to the two grading periods are only 8 weeks long. I know this is difficult, but I am wondering if we can extend this semester at least a week if not two?

We have an early release Nov. 3.  That is so close the the two early release days in October (parent conferences).  It doesn't appear that Dec. 17 is an early release.  Could we swap the early release days on Nov. 3 and Dec. 17 for next year?

Would it be possible to push the end of the second 9 weeks later in December to allow for a few more days in the first semester ?

We were talking about how families who work for the district but live outside of district NBISD, NEISD and others might want to have the same time off.

2023 I would have the Spring Break be 13-17 since the 9 weeks ends the week before rather than start a new 9 weeks and then go on Spring Break.

Would we only be coming back for 1 or 2 days after Memorial Weekend? Or would we finish out the week?

Nothing in the strategies speak to student interest - how can we determine what students are interested in?

Many students at SVMS don’t get the elective they are interested in due to lack of teachers. For example, 7th grade has a huge waitlist for art. Then these kids are placed in an elective they are not happy with (40 kids in the cafeteria for theater).

A survey would be great before staffing is decided on.

At our campus we have a “club day” kids sign up for the club they want to go to and we run an early release schedule so they can go to their club in the afternoon.

Is there a level of recruitment for elective courses to really explain and allow students to explore the courses. Some are more well known, while others are newer or less understood about the curriculum or pathway they are a part of.

Topics for growth
- How to explain the concept like the book "Who Moved the Cheese?" to a less than enthusiastic/unsure team member
- Renew Strengthsfinder on campus level annually

Where is the student voice or interest inventory? Qualtrics isnt enough to get a true picture of what programs the students are interested in
