Estimada familia y comunidad Tigere:
El estado de Nuevo Mexico de Educacion Publica solicita a todos los distritos escolares del estado que aborden la pérdida de aprendizaje debido al impacto de COVID-19. La legislatura estatal aprobó fondos para que los distritos implementen el Programa de tiempo de aprendizaje extendido (10 días adicionales de escuela, 80 horas de desarrollo profesional requerido para todos los maestros y programación extracurricular requerida) y / o K5 Plus (25 días adicionales de escuela). Después de hablar con los miembros del personal para obtener comentarios, todos los directores y el personal de la oficina central han determinado que las limitaciones de estos dos programas dificultan la implementación, por lo que no vamos a solicitor los para el próximo año. En cambio, en un esfuerzo por "reimaginar la escuela" después de COVID 19, queremos proponer hacer la escuela de manera diferente al obtener información sobre el cambio a un calendario escolar de todo el año (6 semanas de vacaciones de verano, en lugar de 10, y 3 semanas de vacaciones de otoño en octubre y vacaciones de primavera de 3 semanas en marzo). La Escuela Primaria de Arrey ha tenido un calendario anual en el pasado y, según su comunidad escolar, ha funcionado bien como una forma de minimizar el agotamiento de los estudiantes y maestros, así como la pérdida de aprendizaje durante el verano. Ambos calendarios tendrían el mismo número de días escolares. Entendemos que esto afectará a todos de diferentes maneras, por lo que queremos escuchar a todos. Tomaremos una decisión sobre lo que es mejor para nuestros estudiantes, incluso si puede ser un inconveniente para algunos, acelerar su desarrollo socioemocional y rendimiento académico. El cuestionario se cerrará el domingo 2 de mayo a las 6:00 pm.
Se proporcionará una recomendación a la Junta Escolar durante la reunión de la Junta Escolar del 10 de mayo a las 5:30.
Muchas gracias. ¡Mi equipo y yo esperamos leer sus comentarios!
Superintendente, Dr. Channell Segura
