The bell schedule this year has been chaotic to say the least. The fact that teachers have to ask their students to check what time we get out is enough evidence to suggest that there is a problem.
The new tutorial does not work as intended, seeing how last year there was an easy system to leave your class and get work done almost everyday, while now you have only two days a week and not enough time to get any real work done.
As for me, I arrive at school before second period but with all the different schedules and no clear communication, I am late almost 50% of the time. The old tutorial seemed the most efficient out of any we have had.
Seeing how almost no one has the schedule memorized, most students have no way to plan ahead for their classes and activities. This is a major issue for both project planning and using class time correctly.
This can be especially bad because different students across campus start and end school at all different times. There are seniors
who leave at 4th period and juniors who leave at fifth; some students come at second period and some come at zero period.
There should be a master schedule template issued to students displaying the different schedules as there are many varying from assembly, late start, minimum day, and tutorial schedules. We used to have this last year in the from of the Foothill app, so maybe revamping this for the new schedules would work.
