Across the country, the new school year is in full swing, making many children (and their caregivers) very happy. And for teens in California, there’s one more reason to be happy — later school start times.\u201cToo often we underestimate children\u2019s need for sleep, as we tend to think of them as having more energy than us,\u201d says Dr. David Culpepper, Clinical Director of LifeMD. \u201cI see far too many children who show obvious signs of being underslept, as well as overstressed from having so much schoolwork. Since adequate sleep helps to reduce stress, this makes it all the more important. School should nurture, enrich and stimulate our children, not stress them out and exhaust them. Starting later in the morning could be a good start.\u201d\u00a0

“Too often we underestimate children’s need for sleep, as we tend to think of them as having more energy than us,” says Dr. David Culpepper, Clinical Director of LifeMD. “I see far too many children who show obvious signs of being underslept, as well as overstressed from having so much schoolwork. Since adequate sleep helps to reduce stress, this makes it all the more important. School should nurture, enrich and stimulate our children, not stress them out and exhaust them. Starting later in the morning could be a good start.”Dana herself has been struggling to make it to an after-school internship on time, and only days into the school year, she’s had to choose between volleyball teams due to conflicting practices.

This year, California became the first state to implement later school start times for high schoolers, with the purpose of helping teens get more sleep.\u201cOur family is loving the later start times for our kids\u2019 schools, especially at the high school level,\u201d says Alexandra Fung, a mom of four. \u201cWe\u2019re finding that even though one of our teens still needs to be prodded out of bed, overall, it is a lot easier for both of them to get themselves up and ready to go than in years past. With sports, after-school activities, and homework, it is hard for them to get to bed early during the school week, so a later start time gives them a chance to get the hours of sleep they really need.\u201d

Dr. Shelby Harris, Sleepopolis’ director of sleep health, agrees. “As teenagers become teenagers – even as early as 12 years old – their biology naturally shifts later,” she says. “They naturally start to go to bed later and wake up later – and a lot of schools in America start way too early…and at that point, when a teen is asked to wake up, their brain is actually completely asleep.”Thirteen-year-old Robert Greenway told local CBS that he was enjoying his new routine before school. \u201cLast school year, it was more like get up, rush, rush, rush. Like you’re tired,” he says. Robert’s mom, Christine, says, \u201cThey’re zombies in the morning and then it’s very stressful to try to get them up.\u201d

And while the California law is the first of its kind nationwide, other states, including New York and New Jersey and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are considering similar measures. Some cities, like Seattle, implemented later start times years ago. A study showed that those teens who started school later slept more, got better grades and had less absences.\u201cIt might take some getting used to and this is a big year of transition for all of our students, but the great thing is that they will statistically be healthier and better ready to learn,\u201d she added.\u00a0 \u201cAlso with all schools in California on a similar later start, after an adjustment period, I\u2019m sure it will all be positive.\u201d

“My son’s school starts at 8:45 am instead of 7:40 (last year), and we have noticed that the extra sleep has helped him tremendously,” says Wesley S Cable. “He has epilepsy, and if he doesn’t get enough sleep, he can have seizures. The later start time allows him to wake up later and get the 8-9 hours of sleep that he needs to prevent [those] seizures.”

Signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2019, the California state law requires all high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. and an 8 a.m. or later start for middle schools this school year.Cable also told Sleepopolis that his son is less rushed in the morning and has more time for homework and test preparation. As a result, Cable’s son has started off this school year “with really good grades.” The only downside for the family so far is that the later school start time makes it a bit harder to make after school soccer practice since later school start times also mean later school dismissal times.

Hello, welcome to Sleepopolis! Founded in 2014, this site is dedicated to bringing you the most comprehensive sleep-industry information on the web. You’ll find everything from mattress reviews to sleep tips. We want to help you get the best night’s sleep ever! Head over to our About page to learn more about the team behind Sleepopolis.Levy noted that the logistics around extracurriculars have some parents and kids scratching their heads right now. \u201cThe late start has obviously pushed the day to end later, which may be a conflict for those students who travel across town for extracurricular activities,\u201d says Levy.\u00a0\u00a0

Anita Hernandez, a high school counselor who has seen the change play out both at her job and with her own kids, told The Guardian that the law “didn’t really solve the problem [of sleep deprivation], because, for those parents who still have to be at work at eight o’clock, we still have to wake our kids up early,” she says, “given limited or non-existent bussing.”Dana herself has been struggling to make it to an after-school internship on time, and only days into the school year, she\u2019s had to choose between volleyball teams due to conflicting practices.\u00a0

\u201cTeens at two Seattle high schools got more sleep on school nights after start times were pushed later \u2014 a median increase of 34 minutes of sleep each night. This boosted the total amount of sleep on school nights for students from a median of six hours and 50 minutes, under the earlier start time, to seven hours and 24 minutes under the later start time,\u201d according to the study published in the journal Science Advances.\u00a0

Lewis, author of The Sleep-Deprived Teen, tells Sleepopolis, “The circadian rhythm shift teens experience means they generally aren’t feeling sleepy until about 11 p.m., and yet they still should be getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night up until age 18. So, when schools start too early in the morning – as early as 7 a.m., in some cases – it can make it virtually impossible for them to be able to get the amount of sleep they need.” Proponents of later school start times, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) among them, are pushing for later school start times that better align with teen\u2019s natural sleep schedules to help teens face their growing stress levels.\u00a0“Teens at two Seattle high schools got more sleep on school nights after start times were pushed later — a median increase of 34 minutes of sleep each night.

Some cities, like Seattle, implemented later start times years ago. A study showed that those teens who started school later slept more, got better grades and had less absences.\u00a0 For years, studies have shown that teen sleep cycles are delayed by as much as 2 to 3 hours, leading them to naturally fall asleep later and wake up later. And when school is in session, it’s easy to see how an early school start time can mess with those natural rhythms. Add to that a growing concern over depression and teen stress and what has been called a mental health crisis for teens, the later school start times seem to be a needed part of the puzzle to help kids be healthy, according to many experts. Cable also told Sleepopolis that his son is less rushed in the morning and has more time for homework and test preparation.

Later start fits better with the teen brain development and with teens getting better sleep.\u201d\u00a0

The Whitefish Bay School District has released its 2018-2019 calendar for public schools.The calendar includes important dates such as winter and spring vacations, religious holidays, federal holidays, early dismissals and parent-teacher conferences.While we strive to maintain up-to-date school calendars, occasionally schools and districts must make changes to originally published dates. Always check with your school or other local education authority before making travel arrangements.Details: After school is out for the summer, it’s a tradition to celebrate with the Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation’s Ice Cream Social. Enjoy a sweet treat from Pete’s Pops and music by the Village Band of Whitefish Bay. The music and first treat are complimentary, so we encourage you to come, enjoy and spend time with neighbors and friends, old and new.

The Parade: The Fourth of July Parade kicks off at 11:30 am at the corner of Silver Spring Drive and Kent Avenue. The parade heads east on Silver Spring Drive, continuing on Lake Drive to Klode Park.

When students leave St. Monica, they do so with the discipline and knowledge needed to excel in their future scholastic pursuits, and a moral foundation that will inspire and guide them in the years to come.

Instead of concentrating 180 school days into nine months, a balanced calendar spreads them throughout the year. Schools may use the breaks to host “intersessions,” where they can provide additional learning experiences if needed.Balanced calendars usually keep the same number of school days as traditional calendars, but they add flexibility. With input and feedback from families, education leaders decide what is best for their local community. Teachers who work in a balanced calendar have reported that it is easier to plan instruction in shorter chunks between breaks rather than for a full semester (Pedersen, 2016). In addition, ending the first semester, trimester, or second quarter before winter break creates more energy and readiness for students and teachers when they return (Hasser & Nasser, 2005).

When migrant students move between districts with traditional and balanced calendars, the state’s Migrant Education program provides supplemental academic help as well as secondary credit accrual and exchange. There are times when additional school days make sense. These additional days, called intersessions, can be added to the school calendar to provide opportunities for more student learning and enrichment. All additional workdays are collectively bargained to determine how the days will be allocated and how teachers and support staff will be compensated. When interventions take place at the end of each summative period, there is evidence of a reduction of students needing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or qualifying for special education services over time (Smith, 2011; Evans, 2007).

In the exploration process, include families who operate under a parenting agreement or who are in single-parent households. In some cases, a balanced calendar may provide more opportunities for equity in shared custody arrangements, especially where one parent has custody during the school year, while the other has custody during summer break.

Intersessions can be used to support continuous forward momentum for all students. Schools should consider how to make use of time for supplementary opportunities to learn as intervention or enrichment.

In Washington state, a traditional school year lasts 180 days, with a few short breaks along the way and a long break in the summer. Research shows that students who have consistent access to enriching activities throughout the year are more successful in school. Families in low-income communities often do not have the same access to enrichment. They rely on schools to provide supplemental instruction — if they can — during extended vacation periods to maintain students’ academic progress.Schools that follow a balanced calendar tend to have higher achievement scores (Pedersen, 2016). A traditional summer break lasts 10 to 12 weeks, compared to 5 to 7 weeks in a balanced calendar. Shorter breaks mean more consistent student-teacher partnerships and less learning disruption. Students need less review time at the beginning of the new school year so there is an embedded opportunity for expansion of curriculum and learning experiences.

Identify and engage key stakeholders early, including educator groups, families, students, and community partners. Thoughtful communication and engagement can go a long way toward establishing common ground and creating transparency in the process and decision-making. Communicate with families about how changes to the school calendar may affect existing practices and schedules for report cards and student conferences.

High school athletics are often viewed as a barrier due to scheduling challenges, but conflicts can be mitigated. For decades, school districts across the nation have successfully supported interscholastic sports among schools with different school year calendars. In fact, the modern balanced calendar has ties back to the 1890s. Washington’s Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) has successfully navigated a variety of school year calendars. Despite changes in leadership, WIAA has stated their support of allowing districts to determine the right school year calendar for their students and communities.

State graduation requirements remain the same. Each school district is responsible for supporting every student to earn necessary credits for graduation, meet their graduation pathway, and complete a High School and Beyond Plan.The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) may be operated on planned educational days. Enrolled students attending on-campus, educational activities are eligible to participate and may receive one breakfast and one lunch daily. Meals must meet the NSLP and SBP Meal Pattern requirements and are reimbursed at the school’s NSLP and SBP rate. Schools must count and claim meals according to a student’s approved eligibility status unless they are participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) or Provision 2. An application and calendar must be submitted within the Washington Integrated Nutrition System (WINS) for the participating schools and planned educational days at the beginning of each school year. Local Education Agencies (LEAs) should contact their assigned School Meal Programs Specialist with any questions.

A balanced calendar can provide an opportunity for involvement in special projects and targeted learning opportunities. When considering calendar modifications, schools should take into account the program design and testing schedules for Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge International programs.Students in foster care or experiencing homelessness are eligible to receive support through several state and federal programs. These students often have disruptions in their education which can make it difficult for them to be on target for graduation. A balanced calendar can provide additional opportunities for credit accrual and recovery, as well as interrupt the effects of cumulative learning loss in developing individual school graduation plans.

Transitioning to a balanced calendar requires some rethinking of instructional time and the scope/sequence of instruction and intervention supports for students. Throughout the planning and exploration process, districts should work closely with their instructional staff and teams to identify where support is needed and proactively factor this support into the transition process and collective bargaining agreements, as necessary.No. The purpose of the grant is to provide school districts with the opportunity to study a balanced calendar approach. If districts go through the study phase and decide not to modify their school year calendars, that’s OK.

Each of Washington’s nine Educational Service Districts (ESDs) provides essential local services, responsive to their region’s communities. Together, they form a network that leverages each other’s strengths, and supports all students and schools statewide. For students in Running Start or who are learning a trade, consider local community college and skill center schedules for potential impacts on students participating in those programs part-time. Connect with families and community partners early, including child care providers. Gather their feedback about the prospect of a school year calendar change. Some families have shared that it is easier to budget for six weeks of care in the summer with periodic week breaks throughout the school year, than it is to pay for care for 10 to 12 consecutive weeks during a traditional summer break (Flaminio Interview, 2022). Some child care providers have cited the shift to a balanced calendar has offered a growth opportunity for their business (Ballinger & Kneese, 2006).Students with disabilities may not have access to highly specialized resources (occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language specialists, adaptive equipment) during long summer breaks. Transition services, such as job shadows, can take place during intersessions without taking the student out of classroom instruction.

​This initiative is intended to support public school districts, tribal compact schools, and charter schools in exploring the feasibility and effectiveness of a student-centered balanced school calendar in their school districts with the goal of positively impacting student learning and success.Are you looking for Whitefish Bay School District calendar 2023-2024?
