Citing an increase in students with failing grades or who are “off-track to graduate,” Del Norte High School principal Alison Eckart unveiled a new schedule that will, hopefully, make up for what her students lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting this fall, DNHS is trading in the six-period schedule for four periods, each lasting 90 minutes, Eckart told the Del Norte County Unified School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday.

Though they acknowledged that most parents are focused on the upcoming school year, Del Norte Unified officials propose to restructure its four in-town elementary campuses so that half serve transitional kindergarten through second-grade students and the other half house third- through fifth-grade students.
Included in DNUSD’s Local Control Accountability Plan for the 2021-22; 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years, the proposal would impact Joe Hamilton, Mary Peacock, Bess Maxwell and Pine Grove elementary schools, Superintendent Jeff Harris told trustees at a special meeting Thursday.
