My child is new to this school and seems to like it as it is now. We do not want a change to the calendar. I really don't want to change his school again.

I have adjusted my households schedule to comply with the current calendar. I can not readjust my life to cater to a calendar that was not part of the original school year. Please change it back

Non traditional calendar will bring more instructional content into the classroom. The student/pupil ratio is 1/26 in some of the UPSM classrooms. More instruction is needed before assessment testing begins in September. Its not fair for the students or the teacher to have anything less.

I believe the non traditional calendar have the students a better retention rate of the lessons learned throughout the year, which in turn gives greater confidence for themselves. It also allowed the patents to see the growth in our children, knowing that their education choice was not in vain. UPSM may be a part of UPS district, however UPSM was named differently, given different curriculum, and initially had a different schedule all for a purpose. Parents who agreed with all of that enrolled their kids with that same concept. Changing the calendar to mimic our sister schools, takes away our uniqueness.

Changing the schedule to a traditional one is not wise. Our students have been doing so well with the year around. It has improved their test scores and overall learning experience.

The year round calendar is something that encouraged us to enroll our son at UPrep Math & Science as it keeps our son engaged in his studies for much more of the calendar year. I feel that this change to a traditional school calendar is not in the best interest of the currently enrolled students as it will lessen their time in school while potentially leading to over crowding of classes. I implore the board to reconsider its decision and remain with current school calendar as it is what's best for the kids learning and that's what the primary focus is correct?

I believe our current calendar sets us apart from other public schools. It also add flexibility for international travel. Please continue to allow our students to follow the year round calendar.

I chose this school based on reputation from friends and family and was fully aware of the schools calendar year. I find that my child works better with a year round calendar. Now I will be forced to have him switch schools and find one with a year round calendar and that's unstable.

My children are new to University Prep Science and Math this year. We left a year-round private school and saw the benefits a non-traditional school. I hope that the district reconsiders.

We were told at the opening of the elementary school 3 years ago that the balanced calendar would be the standard for UPrep. Very disappointed. This balanced calendar is a rare jewel in the city of Detroit / Wayne County and should not be lost.

The main reason my son attend UPSM is because of the calendar. To change it now is ridiculous and it is a slap in the face to the parents of UPSM who also sent their child there for the same reason.
I prefer the year-round calendar
