Judy has a meeting with the two principals today.\u00a0 She gets the chance to discuss next year\u2019s schedule and class load.\u00a0 The way her classes are scheduled from now until the end of the year, she has no planning period at all during the day.\u00a0 She wanted to let the principals know she wouldn\u2019t have time to prepare any programs, with any grade level.\u00a0 Naturally this is not good news.\u00a0 They\u2019ve become accustomed to having some entertaining programs with contributions from Judy almost weekly.\u00a0 Her schedule this year can\u2019t be helped, but now that they know what they created with her schedule, they\u2019ll figure out a way to reduce it for next year.<\/p>\n
