FHS SMART LUNCHStudents Maximizing Achievement with Resources and Time Meeting the needs of our students, The Bulldog Way!
Between the Buses and the Case for Extending Lunch The Real Numbers… • Out of 1805 total students grade 10-12, 244 students had at least 1”F” • 12th Grade has 580 students and 42 had at least 1 “F” • 11th Grade has 605 students and 70 had at least 1 “F” • 10th Grade has 620 students and 132 had at least 1 “F” • 400 “F’s” were assigned We currently offer no required interventions when a student is missing work, fails a test, or falls behind…
Lunch, How do we make itSMART? • Students A-M will have access to the cafeteria the first 30 minutes. A single one hour lunch/academic improvement time. • Don’t forget your ID or back to the end of the line you go! • Students N-Z (and any clubs that meet) will have access to the cafeteria the last 30 minutes. (Don’t forget that ID!)
What do kids do when it’s not their lunch period or they bring their lunch?Additional Options can be reviewed based on construction. They can either: • Go to the Auxiliary Gym to eat, socialize, or participate in intramural activities. (This will be supervised by a teacher) • Go back into the hallways as they do now to eat their lunch or receive help from teachers. (This will be supervised by two/three teachers “walking their beat”) • Go to the Library or Computer Lab (Media Specialist will supervise these areas as they do now) • Go to the North Green Area between the Bulldog Lobby Entrance and the current faculty parking lot. No going into the parking lot! (This will be supervised by a teacher)
What will supervision look like? • An Assistant Principal and Coach Adams will monitor the cafeteria. • 8 /9duty teachers will man the 4 stations in 30 minute intervals so they have 30 minutes of duty free lunch. • Auxiliary Gym (1) • Hallways (2 please!) • Green Area in the front (1) • Students will only be allowed in these areas.
What are the advantages? • Department meetings can be scheduled • Built in time for horizontal teaming within a department • Built in time for vertical teaming within a department • Club members can ALL meet together • Library and technology can be accessed • Mandatory Supervised Study and Tutorials becomes a reality
What Does Mandatory Supervised Study Look Like? (Committee is working on the details) Mandatory Supervised study can be assigned: • When a student’s grade dips below a certain percentage in class. • If a student has a poor performance on a test and needs to re-test or if a student needs to make-up a test • At the teacher’s discretion based on classroom performance
What Kind of Delivery System would we use? (Suggestions?) • A simple form, much like a detention slip, would be given to the student. • Technology could be utilized so that a teacher could simply enter the student’s name, date, and required assignment…and send it off. I meet with Patty Plummer and her team to discuss tomorrow. • An MSS teacher/Aide could then simply import the day’s students and their assignments.
What happens if they don’t go?(these are examples, this too will be studied. • If they miss without a valid excuse, they are assigned restrictive lunch (ISS). They get to go eat the last 15 minutes. • If they don’t attend a second time or don’t attend the restrictive lunch, they receive 1 day of ISS. Note: We currently we have 4 teachers assigned to this in lieu of a teaching period.
What is a Tutorial Period? A tutorial period would allow students to voluntarily get help or teachers could require it. Two Options could be: • Departments can decide to remain flexible like it is now or… • Departments can schedule their tutorial time.
What does it look like to the student? • If I turn in my work, I get to hang out with friends, ask teachers for help, or participate in an intramural program. • If I don’t, I’m in mandatory supervised study until I’m caught up…
