STUDENT SIGNATURES: Comments displayed under the petition allow students to express their reasons for signing. A majority of the students and parents who signed agree that the minimum day schedule allows for a good amount of time spent both in and out of class. “65 minute classes give us plenty of time to learn and finish work; however, it also allows students to have more flexibility with their schedule and after school activities,” sophomore Kevin Panbechi commented. “All parents and students I know would rather have this schedule.”

NEW AND IMPROVED The projected look of the new Performing Arts Center as envisioned by the Performing Arts Department. This new building, which is going to replace the current Little Theatre and Pavillon, is set to engulf a large portion of the Bristol tent area as well. “Its taking up the Bristol Lot, actually,” Melvin said. “[In] the back, […] there will be eight parking spots. And then [there will] be trees, [along with] parking for the band truck and Mater Dei Television. Theres gonna be all these other trees that are in this beautiful little atrium area for guests. Its a plaza, and then the bookstore is going to be right [next to it] as well.” | Courtesy of Scott Melvin

STUDYING HISTORY WHILE LIVING THROUGH IT: Sophomore Willow Laws works on a history worksheet on her iPad at home on Oct. 13. Laws’ history class, taught by Justin Deskovick, is considered an asynchronous class where she is given assignments and assessments to complete on her own on time and is self-paced for students fully online. “I feel like I’ve gotten used to [online school] but it is still a little weird,” Laws said. “I only have Zoom classes for two of my classes [Religion and Spanish] so I haven’t really seen who my teachers are yet. I feel like I can make it work because all of my teachers are always emailing me and reaching out to me.”
