Mr. Schmeichel has formed a ‘alternate bell schedule’ committee at Coronado High School to research schools in neighboring districts with different bell schedules (traditional, block, 4x4, trimester, etc.) to examine potential changes to scheduling at CHS. The committee is comprised of teacher representatives from each academic and enrichment / elective subject area.
Dr. Battle and the Learning Department met with CUSD Elementary principals to discuss a comprehensive review of our existing bell schedule, grade level instructional minutes, and curriculum adoptions. The team is looking at neighboring districts and programs for comparison data. A committee of educators and parents from our elementary sites will examine potential adjustments to existing structures during the Spring.
