The Chinook School Board recently created a committee to decide if kindergarten students should follow the All Day/Alternate Day routine, or Half Day/Every Day routine.

     The committee found that the AD/AD method meant students had less transitions, and it eliminated the cost of running a bus during the lunch hour, but it would cost more for additional supervision at lunch.

     Meanwhile, the HD/ED method allows students to benefit from every day participation.

     Currently, Ashley Park, Central, and Oman Elementary Schools operate under the HD/ED method.
