HMS New Bell Schedule is Popular

This year’s bell schedule has changed again! And this time most people hope the schedule will stay as it is.
The schedule has changed four times in the last four years.
Asked if the schedule will change again next year, Mrs. Franco stated, “I can’t say yes but there will be a possibility it will change.”
What makes this year’s schedule different is the fact that we now have seven periods instead of eight. The reason why we have one less period is because of budget problems that affected most schools in the Napa Unified School District.
No school is allowed to have less than six periods because we need the five primary classes and we have to have least one elective, and because we are an IB school we have to have seven classes that includes two electives. One of them has to be a Spanish class. (The 5 primary classes are math, I&S, L&L, PE, and science)
“I like this year’s schedule better than last year’s because classes are shorter this year and because we see our teachers more often than before,” Jessica Camacho, a 7th-grade student at HMS, said during an interview with Karina.
I like this year’s schedule because the classes are shorter. I don’t think students can focus for more than 40 minutes at a time so this is helpful.
I feel the same I like this schedule more because of the periods being shorter and honestly fell better not having such long classes .
I like last years bell schedule better than this years because we had an extra elective.I like that this year we get more time for passing period
I like this bell schedule to . I notice that all the teachers complain about the classes being shorter.
I think the bell schedule last year was more simple than this year and I wish we kept it but I have already gotten used to the new one for this year.
I completely agree with this article, its crazy how much they have changed the schedules! I wasnt here in 6th grade but I have heard many complaints about the new schedule changes. I really like how the schedule is this year though so I hope it stays this way!
I like my new schedule this year. It helps me get more work done in more classes in one day.
