THE OPTIONAL seven period day would mean that school would begin at 7:40 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. with teachers and students having the option of classes held one through six periods or two through seven periods. Students Stu-dents could also choose to attend all seven periods and thus add an extra hour to their day. Seventy-five percent of Utah high schools and all of Davis County junior high schools now have a straight seven period day. School would begin at 7:50 a.m. and close at 2:20 p.m. with seven, 45 minute classes. THE EIGHT period day is a new approach recently adopted by two schools in the Granite District and approved this month by the Davis County Coun-ty Board of Education for Davis High School. Periods one, two, three and four would be taught every other day and periods five, six, seven and eight would be taught every other day. Periods would be 85 minutes long. THIS WEEK students had a trial registration for "all" options op-tions and then checked the option op-tion they liked best. After the forum on Jan. 21 at BHS, a poll of parents will be conducted. All information is being carefully care-fully studied before the BHS administration makes a recommendation recom-mendation to the Davis County Coun-ty Board of Education as to the best possible way to meet the needs of Bountiful High School students. |
