The optional effort is part of the district’s plan to get students back on track following the pandemic, which pushed schools online in 2020 and caused much learning loss.
Of those signed up, Carvalho estimates 65% to be students who the district intended to target with this intervention. Those were mainly students whose grades were low or students who showed weakness in some skills.
How the days unrolled, however, varied from school to school. There were many moving parts as registrations fluctuated, initially causing skepticism about how the intervention effort would unfold. “We really left that to them,” Estrada said. “We gave them examples, so they would have that as well as the resources, but based on the teachers’ decisions, they were able to work together to make those decisions. We really wanted to be very student-based.”
That relatively low enrollment was reflected across the campus, which hosted an additional four schools. According to Alvarez, administrators initially expected 450 students but ended up with 106. It was a surprise, she said, given that she felt her school was prepared for the volume. She spent the weekend preparing posters with her principal so that the students would know where to line up.
