Findings
Secondary students are:

- Sleeping later
- Largest positive effect - 7th and 8th graders
Data suggests:
- Some students may be more alert and less sleepy in class
- Some students may be staying up later
Measures of Improvement
- Data will need at least another year of evaluation to determine possible
positive effects
Findings
Parent Feedback
- Most Parents who provided feedback have appreciated the change for their
students and families; children seem less sleepy and more relaxed in the morning.
- A small percentage report that they have not seen noticable differences.
- Other parents stated that they prefer the old schedule based on family
schedules and because they are not seeing positive effects from the change.
Findings Staff Feedback
- In a limited staff response rate:
- Some staff have appreciated the change for their students; students
seem less sleepy and more relaxed in the morning.
- Some staff have not seen positive effects for students and have not liked
the schedule change based on their family schedules and/or a later end time negatively impacting student after school schedules.
- Elementary staff are requesting later bus arrivals in the morning; we are
adjusting.
Findings Many students are getting more sleep, however, on average
- ur high school students’ nightly sleep quantity still falls
below the amount recommended by the American Academy
- f Pediatrics and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine:
8 - 10 hours is the recommendation
Findings Good News:
- Most of our Middle School students are now in the 8 - 10
hour range!
- All of our secondary students, on average, moved closer
to the recommended range!
