This year,
SRVHS decided to change the old bell schedule for the better. Late starts are now on Mondays instead of
Tuesdays, a change that is already displaying positive effects. For example, this change allows students to
ease back into the school schedule at the start of the week. By allowing you to sleep in on Mondays, there
is a less abrupt transition between your weekend schedule and weekday schedule.
School also starts ten minutes later
than it did with the Tuesday start schedule.
This makes the school days end at 3:10, like every other school day
during the week. During the Tuesday
schedule, school ended at 3:00, which threw off scheduling of certain things.
Lastly, A period is always at the
beginning of the day with the late Monday schedule. With the late Tuesday schedule, A period was
at the end of the day once a week. This
change has also made scheduling events with friends with an A period more
simple.
Some would say that late Tuesdays
are better because of the earlier lunch.
This would be a valid point, except that you can eat food at brunch as
it is. Another reason that people like
late Tuesdays is that all students arrive at school at the same time on
Tuesdays. While that does allow you to
see your friends that do/don’t have an A period (depending on whether you have
one), it also causes major traffic and causes people to be late to school. All in all, the school’s change to late
Mondays is a change for the better.
