Some students do homework, home-work, some play video games, and others sleep. This year at Springville Junior Ju-nior High School, Wednesdays Wednes-days are early outDdays, which means that students get out of school at 1:55 instead in-stead of 2:40. This has been an adjustment from last year, when we had late start Wednesdays. As a journalism class, we asked Mr. Darrel Rolfe, principal at Springville Junior, why the schedule changed. He explained that it changed because of teacher collaboration meetings. meet-ings. The district met and looked at all the schools in the state that had early out and found that those teacher meetings had a much better turnout than late start.DMr. Rolfe ex- plained. Teacher collaboration meetings are the reason that the junior high has early out this year, and had late start Wednesdays last year. Mrs. Hamilton, a teacher at SJHS, explained that the meetings are to help teachers better teach the students. Teachers also discuss how to Draise the success level of the students.D Mr. Mark Bake, a vice principal at SJHS, has had a lot of experience with collaboration at the district dis-trict level. As principals, we manage collaboration and help teachers have a good experience. Princi pals become teachers, and teachers become students, pie like it better than last year, others don't.
