It's a new start for Mrs. Bruckner too.

Other changes this year include a new schedule.As part of their new UTLA union contract, teachers receive additional time for the purpose of professional development and coordination with other schools.Although total instructional minutes remain unchanged, students now finish school earlyÑat 1:35 p.m.Ñboth Tuesdays and Thursdays and stay until 2:40 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.Although parent support for this change is mixed, most teachers are looking forward to the extra planning and training opportunities.For working parents particularly impacted by the schedule change, the school has vowed to create an afterschool program for students.
