Right now, students in elementary and middle schools largely attend school full-time, although some have staggered start times, while many secondary schools are on a “quarter system,” where they take two in-class courses over 10 weeks, ending up with eight in a year. The goal of the system is to reduce the number of people in the school at any given time. A return to a regular schedule would be a nice change, said Jodi Whiteman, who has a son in Grade 9 at Lambrick Park Secondary and serves as secretary for the Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils. “We’ll see in the fall — it’s really quite far away.”
