The administration thinks they can just slash our time and expect us to keep quiet while they ignore our actual needs. I am currently drafting a formal demand for an intervention because the current plan is a total insult to every student in this building.

I don’t appreciate that the rug was pulled out from under everybody and parents or students had no say in this decision. My student is not happy about this at all because she would often use prep time to get extra support.
Students need this time for extracurriculars to build their college resume and in order to further their understanding of in-class curriculum. Many students in more advanced classes will also need to utilize this time for grasping concepts. I would never have passed the AP exams had I not been able to sit in prep for review the weeks before the test daily. AP exams for fall semester courses are tough, and probably close to impossible without daily prep. Students struggling in lower level courses also may need this time to catch up on schoolwork. Taking just thirty minutes out of the school day has been really helping the majority of students to stay on top of their classes and extracurricular activities. Thanks for your time and consideration.
I believe that removing prep will hinder kids from having the necessary time to make up missed tests as there will be a much shorter window and teachers having multiple kids to take care of simultaneously. Additionally this is a time where students take a few minute mental break from continuous classes and looking at screens non stop. Please reinstate prep for our kids
This is actually stupid. Students have works to do every day of the week not just on Wednesdays.
prep is the only time i can talk to my special education manager openly about things and have a break and if needed get help on my homework you removing this will not only not improve but make things much worse
This prep time was the only time in the day I had to get tutoring help from teachers.
Keep prep

Prep is a necessary time for student governance meetings, a chance to meet with teachers if needed, a chance to complete assignments. I had it in my high school. It's a great way for students to keep their sanity. It is needed in today's student world. Since covid, these kids have a lot of anxiety. Not having the break every day is asking for more anxiety and more stress.
