A number of PACs have asked about arrangements to accommodate students whose families are unable to arrange supervision during the 7 elementary teacher collaboration times being introduced to the school calendar next year.
These late starts and early arrivals create difficulties for many families who need to make alternative arrangements for student supervision when the school is closed during those hours and the teachers are occupied working to coordinate teaching activities within the school.
The District has recommended to Principals that they work with the PACs to seek ways to accommodate the students and we recommend PACs seek ways to work with your Principals to help.
Our first recommendation is for PACs to assess actual the need in their schools. We suggest PACs survey your school community to determine how many parents and students expect to have difficulty with the collaboration times. This will help gauge the need and help to open up an appropriate discussion around how to support these children.
