======================================

TIMELINE

As we begin to go into the ending parts of the Fall Semester, it is time to look towards the Spring Semester and looking to making sure we transition into the Spring Semester in as smooth a fashion as possible.  Here is my proposed timeline for the rollover master schedule.

1. Pre-thanksgiving: Counselor prepares the Course Directory and Master Schedule in the Student Information System
1. Administrators inform counselor of any vast staff changes.
2. Post-thanksgiving: Teachers make student switches by grade level
3. December (Week 1): Students receive their Spring Schedules and change requests are done in the first week.
4. December (Week 2): Final changes are made
5. January (Week 1): Students return and met in advisory first to get copies of their schedules.

----------------------------------------------------------------

NEEDS

Before I invest a huge amount of time in rolling-over the Spring Master Schedule, I will meet with our administrators to make sure that a Spring Staff Roster is finalized.  Given that we rolled-over early last year and unfortunately had some changes in our staff roster, I will wait until given the final staff roster.  It is my hopes however that we can rollover our master schedule within my proposed timeline.

When such a change is completed, I will then be able to create the Spring Schedule and begin the rollover.

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES

After given the green-light to begin the Spring Rollover, I will need all the grade levels to make changes in their student's schedules.

After teacher changes are made, I will give students their new schedules and request for schedule changes.

MATRIX REVOLUTION

Looking beyond the spring, we need to begin to look at how we want to create the Fall 2013-14 Master schedule.

Because of the number of 8th grade students possibly moving to the 9th grade, it is possible that we might have 3 sections of each class in each grade level.

This would of course mean that might have to grow in staff.

AQUINO'S SPRING

Please note that for 10 weeks in the Spring, I will (with our administrator's blessing) be joining the Master Schedule Institute to officially learn how to create a Master Schedule.

This will mean that for 10 weeks, I would not be present on campus.
