I was going to use 6 weeks of this summer to get TESOL certified. Now, you want to take away this teacher growth opportunity, because no way will I use my already small breaks to go to class when I have my own family at home that I barely get to spend time with during the school year from all the hours I put in after my "contracted" hours.

This year has been hard for all of us. Children have worked harder than ever, my son has never in the whole school year missed a class, an activity, a test, he has had great grades, and I don’t think at all that he has to make up for something. Having to stay at school early or late in summer doesn’t sound fair, he needs time to learn things as family, to rest, to ride his bike. He has been in class for the whole school year respecting all the curriculum marked by his teacher. And let’s talk about teachers too they need to rest they have given their extra mile this year having to adapt all the lessons to online teaching to keep kids learning and engaged. I absolutely don’t agree with the draft calendar.

Families have invested into vacations!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
My older kiddos had year round school in AZ.  I was not thrilled at first because we came from NM and were not used to it.  But scheduling vacation times during "off" seasons was great!  But I would like to see the same schedule.  A week off in October, the week of Thanksgiving off,  3 weeks at Christmas a/k/a Winter break and 2 weeks off for Spring Break plus the 3 day weekend Federal holidays.  We still only had 6 weeks for Summer vacation, but after 4 weeks, the kiddos were bored.   Personally, I liked it because we could spread out vacation times.  But the real upside is that they were ahead of their classes when we moved from AZ to TX.  When we moved from TX back to NM my oldest could have graduated as a Sophomore but had to take NM History and a bunch of filler classes 🤷‍♀️  BUT....  it is too short noticed.  Families have already invested into Summer Vacations. Implementant next year!

My kiddos were on a "year round school" schedule in AZ. We had a full week off in October, the full week off for Thanksgiving, 3 weeks off for Christmas a/k/a Winter Holiday, 2 weeks off for Spring Break and all of the Federal Holidays, AND 6 weeks off for Summer Break.  ALL that time off and they went from AZ to TX with above average scores.  Then came back to NM and having to take empty courses to make up credits 🤔🤔🤔

# data[].attributes.body
I want my son to have the best level of education as his sisters did.  The last year has been a struggle because he went from basically no school the end of his 6th grade year, to Summer Vacation, to online school, now back to in person school (never thought I'd have to decribe it that way).  He still doesn't have electives, but he is doing better.  He hated being online, but is excited to be back in person.  That being said, I am on board with year round school...  My girls had year round school in AZ.  It was great!!!  We had time throughout the year.  But, like my girls had in AZ. they should not only have the week off in October and the week of Thanksgiving off, but should have 3 weeks over Christmas a/k/a Winter Break and 2 weeks off for Spring Break, plus all the Federal Holidays off.  They still ended up with 6 weeks off during the Summer.  My girls left AZ (with year round school) to TX and were above their class.  Of course, coming back to NM...  well... let's just say that my oldest could've graduated from LLHS as a Sophomore, but she needed to take NM History and a bunch of other empty classes to fill in her credits.... 🙄

I am a parent of two boys.  One attends an elementary school in Los Lunas and the other who attends a school at another district.  My oldest's calendar will be the original August-May schedule while my youngest will be July -June.  I am also a school employee who will have the July -June schedule.  Who  will be watching my oldest son?  He is not old enough to stay at home alone.  I guess I will have to use my extra money that I will make to pay for babysitting.  My boys also participate in summer sports competitions.  My youngest child will not be able to participate anymore plus I will not be able to take my oldest to practice or his games.  I am furious!!!!! I guess I may have to transfer my son to a new district and I may have to rethink my employment at LL.

First, why weren’t all options presented to parents? It seems like this was a sneaky attempt to completely change the school calendar without notifying or asking parents for their input. Students are still dealing with the repercussions from this pandemic. We have put them through enough. They need their break.

Second, where is the data that shows that adding 25 days will make a difference? There are claims that students had a learning loss since the pandemic began... how are 25 extra days going to compensate for a year’s worth of loss? My children have been attending classes online and participating, and their teachers have done a pronominal job of teaching them.

Let the 25 extra days stay optional... don’t make it mandatory!

# data[].attributes.body
I always knew teachers were not appreciated and we defend ourselves saying we’re not babysitters we’re educators. I supposed at least now LL knows how their administration sees them. They definitely need to give teachers a raise. Babysitting rate per hour per child. Some of us have 26 students. That should be a good bonus.

As a teacher, I guarantee you that I will still be taking my vacation. Many of my colleagues will do the same. Will you have enough subs to cover for us? NOT our problem!

The increased stress would lead to a lower ability to retain information and skills. This increased classroom time would also negatively affect the kids' ability to learn outside of a classroom. This "institutionalization" would mean as an adult they would no longer be able to learn by doing, seeing, and feeling. Our future adults would be less creative, less innovative, and we would suffer as a culture. Our kids right now hate school, they have no passion for learning. This schedule, abusively pushed through, is abhorrent. Its master mind should resign.

It doesn't benefit us. We are expecting a baby and were so happy we would have at least part of the summer with him. Now we will have to take multiple weeks off between the two of us. We will both have subs, and students will miss out on even more weeks of quality instruction. I'm sure we are not the only ones. How will our distruct handle the influx of leave requests? We shouldn't be in this situation, especially with such little notice.  Very disappointing all around.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this to be very misleading. Using child care and more money as a means to trick people into this 205day calendar year. Money is not more important then the mental and emotional health of our teachers. I think it was thrown together and not assessed well at all.  Maybe this is something that can be implemented maybe next calendar year, with an option of volunteer and not mandatory, with the appropriate time to plan and make a better argument for it.  It seems rushed and not very well thought out.

Or possibly go through with this option this year strictly on a volunteer basis. And go from there.

The additional meals is not a selling point for me, the school did program does not provide healthy nutrition. Sadly, if children understood more about feeding your body right (as provided with excellent food choices at school) New Mexicans could enjoy fewer sick days

# data[].attributes.body
This doesn’t benefit our family at all. Our child is not at risk & is consistently at the top of her class. More school days will likely lead to burnout & not enjoying school. Target this program to the at risk students who need it, or make it voluntary. We value our summer family time to go visit out of state family & also do not need a week off for Balloon Fiesta or Thanksgiving. If you are really trying to improve student performance, you need to come up with a different solution than more school days.

I think adding days to the school calendar could be very positive, under different circumstances. My concern is what will be done with those additional days. And, whether or not I'll have access to my child, the classroom, and teacher. Some computer based tests were ok with us, but as we me more and more into bookless/paperless school, it ceases to be OK. I have had and am having a difficult time taking what my child is learning as it is. As it is, I'm not permitted to see her classroom or visit with staff...If this remains an issue, I'm not wanting/willing to commit to more days of the same

This will not benefit anyone. We need to focus on quality of education not quantity by adding another month and half to school, this will burn our students and teachers out, that in turn will lead to poor education. If students need more help, offer more tutoring options, more interventions and summer school. I am not against better education by all means there is always room for improvement but I think we need to fix what is already broken internally before such changes can be implemented.  If practices are not changed then the outcome will continue to be the same. If we implement this and we fail, how will that make this district look? If there is data to back this it needs to be provided to the community, we need to see what you apparently have been given to prove this. You will loose students and teacher with this calendar!
