Two week schedule worked.
No need to have students confused.
There is enough stress in their lives and i the lives of the teachers and support staff without purposely adding more.
If it is not broke don't fix it is great advice in this situation. Not the way for a new principle to gain confidence from students and staff.

This is ridiculous. Way to confuse and stress out high school kids more than they already are. What's the point of this?
Kids with learning disabilities, and other disabilities like autism/aspergers will not deal with this well!!! I know my son will not do well with this type of scheduling.
Keep it simple Monday to Friday period 1-4. It's going to be hard for parents to book appointments for their kids. Why do people need to make things so complicated unnecessarily?!? This is not going to help them, or set them up for the future etc.
Go back to simple scheduling!

Way too confusing. Let's go back to blue & white weeks. That for me was always a bit confusing.

Keep it simple, kids have enough to deal with, they don't need anymore confusion, who are you trying to help? Yourselves or the student ? Come on people!

pdci is an environment where everyone is welcome whether you are perfectly health or have some sort of disability. but pdci does have some students that are in need with different aspects of their daily life at school. so having a completely different schedule then "white week" and "blue week" will not only affect how they react, but also how we react. i personally don't agree with this conclusion what so ever because it's too confusing. with students who have been in high school for 3 years and on to their 4th this year is going to complete change their game plan. and having "new" 9th graders try and get used to this schedule will also change their game plan. in other words, keep it as simple as possible. please.

This is just stupid and confusing. I knew that a principal from Ottawa would change the whole school for their own good.

This type of scheduling just adds to stress and confusion. Keep it to a standard rotation.

I'm still trying to remember if it's blue or white week. This 4 weeks thing isn't going to work well among other students. It will only be adding more stress to the school year, and confusion to even teachers. Students will be going to the wrong classes, will be late, just because of the way the school day/week it was arranged as.

I still have to ask people if it's blue or white week. Adding a 3rd & 4th week that is very hard to remember is going to cause nothing but stress & confusion among everyone.
