switching third grade and second grade pick up times in the morning because second grade has first specials time. It would give second grade more time in the mornings to get things together. It would also help third who have a long morning in the classroom

Car line duty never ends by 4pm. Club dismissal should be pushed back/earlier.

It usually ends 4:10/4:15 at least on Thursday's and Fridays.

This year, Wednesday lunches are on top of each other. 2nd, 1st, and 3rd overlap with so many teachers being in the lounge or needing to use the microwave. Maybe issue more time there.

What is your thoughts on schoolwide WIN time?

# data[].attributes.body
Always have WIN before lunch or top half of schedule

After 12 not so beneficial

# data[].attributes.body
break up the ELA block with WIN between it in K-3???

30 minutes phonics

30 minutes WIN

60 minutes reading

# data[].attributes.body
Winn in the middle of the day

Vancol/DiNuzzo want to have access to both classes and departmentalize subjects

Recess needs to stop walking through PE class that is in session. This can simply be as easy as walk the long way around the parking lot to get to your designated area.

Can kindergarten be reduced for specials to 45 minutes?

Is it possible to make more consistent planning periods for all PE teachers, including the aide position?

Can club start at 3:05 if no transitional time is allowed to allow teacher to get to club on time?

Staggered dismissal, odd classes first, then even classes after a couple minutes to prevent overcrowded stairwells and hallways.

Transitional times between classes would allow teachers to be on time to PLC's and Clubs. Is it possible to add transition times between classes?

Can we move stem fair to the fall? This is when the scientific method is taught per curriculum guide, and teachers say the spring is too busy.

# data[].attributes.body
Can we please look at the master schedule again to swap kinder and 5th grade. Having K after lunch means that the students need to use the bathroom and fill water bottles. It is also problematic with equipment that is currently out then we need to pick it up, put new games or manipulatives out, then put the other equipment back up, then set up again, with no transitional time for this.

Switch third and fifth special times

3rd Grade

Morning block is to long need a break between math and reading

Maybe moving recess up

6th Grade

-Change the rotational order of how students transition to have less congestion in the hallways (Ms. M’s guide doesn’t need plannings to be changed, just the order of classes)

-Add a stagger between Adv team and On level team for bells (+1 minute, etc) for hallway congestion

-Level the classes not just based on math (some advanced math students are scoring at 3 or below on FAST or may need intensive reading/many on level students score 4/5 on ELA and are learning on level ELA)

-Switch PE planning to 5th for after lunch (Science planning to 2nd?)

-Give clarification on a room for PE or hallway area for changing/leaving backpacks. We were never updated after state rules

Third graders in the front of the hallway need to go down the front stairwell

2nd grade would like win to be moved so that it does not back up against our specials. We also would like recess earlier in the afternoon to breakup our reading block, giving the students a break between.

Requested Kindergarten Schedule

Science 30min/day

ELA 120min/day

Lunch

W.I.N. 30min/day

Specials

Math 45min/day

Snack & Recess 30min/day

Social Studies 25min/day

# data[].attributes.body
Lunch transitions need to be longer

Time to switch Chrome book carts

We love our planning and lunch midday

To much time in WIN for just IXL need enrichment

Heterogenous classrooms or have teachers have one high one low

Longer homeroom for socio emotional discussion

1. Time Allocations & Instructional Flow

Are the current time allotments for core subjects effective?

ELA

Math - can be shortened to add time to other areas (lunch/recess)

Science

Social Studies

I propose also combining Social Studies and Science time (70 minutes) and doing instead Science M,W,F and Social Studies T, Th

Does the balance of core subjects, interventions, and specials support student learning?

Yes, although I feel Science should have more time.

2. Interventions & Support Services

Is the 30-minute Intensive Reading block meeting student needs effectively? There should be a transition time added here.

Are intervention times scheduled optimally to avoid conflicts with core instruction?

3. Planning & Collaboration

Does the 55-minute planning period provide sufficient time for collaboration and instructional planning? Never, but looking at the "at least 45 minutes" that the county provides, I will say it's sufficient. 🙂

Would adjusted planning schedules improve team collaboration and instructional effectiveness?

4. Specials & Recess

Are the recess and PE schedules working, or do students need more movement breaks? I feel that the recess needs to be extended by at least 10 minutes. After getting students from the cafeteria, and battling with 3rd grade to actually get out, we have about 10 minutes left of the 15 minutes provided.

Does the Wednesday schedule, create any challenges? No

5. Departmentalization & Transitions (4th & 5th Grade)

Are the ELA/Social Studies and Math/Science blocks structured efficiently?

Are transition times adequate without taking too much away from instruction? It is hard to start and finish Social Studies on time, with students coming into the room and getting unpacked, telling you about their whole life and listening to the announcements, hardly ever do I begin at 8:25.

Oh, it says 4th and 5th grade. 😅

6. Realistic Schedule Adjustments

What specific improvements could help, and how can we make them work within our constraints?

Taking Math from 70 minutes to 50 minutes. Adding 10 minutes to recess and 10 minutes to lunch for transition times.

Are there creative scheduling solutions (e.g., staggered intervention times, flexible grouping) that could maximize instructional time?
