School is back in session! On August 13th, the 2018-2019 school year began, although this year is different because the bell schedule has been altered. The old schedule used to be 6 periods, but the correlative new schedule now has 7 periods. Another contemporary change is: there is now a block schedule. On Wednesdays, students only go to their 1st-4th periods. On Thursdays, students go to their 5th-7th classes. Thursdays are the most unusual because it strays from the typical school day. Students have the choice to stay for lunch, or skip it and go home. Samantha Contreras, 11, has been enrolled in Eldorado for two years. She has experienced the change first-hand. She said, “It was overwhelming, but I made friends.” She continued to say that the new bell schedule, “It’s hard [to keep up with] because I have to wake up at four just to get ready on time.” Although, she still manages to get to school on time everyday. This year she is embracing the schedule change by looking to make changes of her own. She hopes, “To not procrastinate with work, and to get the more involved with school.” Samantha, like many other students, hopes this year will be a great one. School can be stressful, complicated, interesting or exciting. Whichever way you look at it, school is necessary. Therefore, you should try your best in all of your classes. Working on getting to class on time, doing your work, and attending school will definitely help. Receiving your high school diploma will help you in advancing your life. No matter what job field you would like to go into, it is beneficial to have one. If you are trying to get a job without one, chances are you are going to lose your chances to someone that has a diploma. Hopefully, every student has the great 2018-2019 school year they want. Work hard, be on time, do your best, and remember, “Everyday is a great day to be a Sundevil!”
