The choice is between more instructional minutes in core classes vs adding intervention classes/ more elective options.
So do we want students to learn a more variety of skills or do we want them to spend all their time in developing themselves in core academics.

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps extending the day to meet the requirements

# data[].attributes.body
Creating an elective class that also operates as an intervention or as an enrichment could be a good idea. (For example, Math Counts and Science Olympiad)

# data[].attributes.body
I think as a student that homework is one of the main problems I deal with. Not that the homework is hard but that I often have after school activities that take up alot of my time after school. If there were a period like tutorial that was made for doing homework preferably being the last period in the day I think that would be a great improvement. This might also allow teachers to do whatever work they had aswell.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though it might be harder to fit all classes in one day consistently, I think 7 periods is important. I take choir and ASB this year and I can't imagine having to choose between the two. Electives serve as a break between core classes and it gives the student a chance to pick something they are passionate about or interested in. Especially, in middle school electives play a very important role because students are starting to figure out what they want to do with their life.

Two electives takes important instructional minutes away from core classes such as math

We are utilizing this time for SEL lessons which leaves little time to dedicate to building school spirit. There's also less time than we've had in the past and many students miss the start of Advisement since it's on Monday morning.

# data[].attributes.body
The current block schedule gives students 52 fewer instructional minutes per week in a class (as compared to the 6-period day we used in 2019-20). This has significantly impacted what I have been able to teach my students this year--they have literally NOT seen parts of the curriculum that students in past years have mastered. My interest is in making sure that Irvine's children are receiving the highest quality education we can envision.

Please publish more announcements/information through canvas so parents know what’s happening. Kids do not always relay information (a lot of parents had no idea there was a movie night on Friday).

Creating a school-wide system/structure to make the time spent in Tutorial beneficial to all students.

Tutorial is not well used by a large portion of the students. Kids are on Chromebooks gaming and socializing. If tutorial is required, there must be more structure and purpose for it.

I also think 6 periods would be a good amount of periods per day. This would allow more time to complete not only classwork for the class you are currently taking, but also allow time to complete homework in class making for less possible stress at home.

# data[].attributes.body
With 6 periods instead of 7, we have 50+ more instructional minutes per week for each subject which allows for better teaching and learning in core classes

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that 82 minutes is way too long for kids to be engaged and it's very difficult to manage keeping them interested that long. My personal interest is having 6 periods each day that are approximately 50 minutes long. I think that's a good amount of time for students to stay engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
As a student here at Rancho, I find Advisement being an integral part of the day because it allows students to hear announcements from ASB and on Mondays, it really preps us for a day full of classes. However, I feel much more can be distributed throughout advisement if we had a longer time (or more Advisement classes) throughout the week.

Can tutorials be used for more meaningful intervention such as have math lab/ reading lab happen during tutorial?

Student workload increased with the change from 6 to 7 periods, as each class still must cover the same standards as before. It is too much work for most students.

Time every day during the school day for prep (make copies, set up next lab), set up makeup work for absent students, answer parent and student emails. These cannot be put off to the next day.
