Elementary School parameters:

Students will be in school for 7.5 hours and receive 6.5 hours of instruction(Increase of 1hr 45mins to the school day and 1hr 30mins for instruction)

Students will receive a 45-minute recess/lunch period Teachers will receive a 45-minute duty-free lunch Teachers will receive a 60-minute prep period

(One of five preps per week will be principal-directed teacher collaboration)Within these parameters, schools will have the flexibility to redesign their day to meet the unique needs of their student body, with input from the community, parents, students, and school staff

Schools will have freedom to redesign their day for their specific student body6

Please also note that while this is the district’s plan, it is subject to final approval by the Board of Education.

Additional Information Regarding Longer School Day Guidelines

7

What are guidelines for preschool and kindergarten?o Full-day programs should follow the elementary school guidelines.o Half-day programs will run 3-hrs/ day Monday-Friday. o 4-hour programs will remain unchanged for students. o Elementary school guidelines will apply to teachers in all 3 programs

Are there minimum requirements for subjects?o Although there are no set requirements for schools, the Chief Instruction

Office has created a set of recommendations to help networks in their review of Longer School Day plans.

Can schools have flexibility about the 60-minute prep periods?o At this point, schools should plan on providing all teachers with 60-minute

prep periods each day

Can schools have flexibility about the 45-minute lunch / recess time for students?o While research supports the benefits of a full recess prior to lunch, schools

do have the flexibility to provide recess and lunch at different times. Note that this may require staffing flexibility.

Additional Information Regarding the Longer School Day

How will a Full School Day impact afterschool activities, including sports, internships, and jobs?o Afterschool activities will likely need to occur at a later time. While each

school will work to adjust their specific afterschool schedules, the district will work with relevant parties to facilitate the transition.

Will IEPs need to be revised?o Yes. A new grid for IEP revisions is expected to be ready in SSM by early

March. IEP revisions will be based on the initial draft plan.

How does this impact students who receive bus transportation?o Students who receive bus transportation will continue to receive

transportation.

How will planning for the Longer School Day impact SIPAAA planning?o We are coordinating with the team developing the SIPAAA to align the work

of filling out the Longer School Day planning template with the SIPAAA. Guidance on SIPAAA is expected by late January / early February.

Will schools receive sample schedules?o Yes, we are working with the scheduling department to provide sample

schedules, including sample schedules of the Pioneer schools.
