SISD explores IMPACT of intersession dates Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – With two years now under its belt, Seguin ISD is delving more into the impact and benefits it believes intersession is having on local school children. It’s also giving folks a closer look at how those six extra allotted days in the school calendar are serving the various groups of students across the district. Since its implementation during the 2021-2022 school year, the Seguin ISD has continued explaining the program. According to the district, intersession aims to “help address the decline in student performance that typically happens during long breaks; manage the anticipated long-term impact of COVID-19; provide intervention, enrichment and acceleration opportunities and provide more immediate recovery opportunities to reduce knowledge gaps.” Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Matthew Gutierrez says while he’d like to provide detail-oriented data on how intercession is working, it just simply doesn’t exist. The reason he says – it’s not a one size fits all program. “I think there is some data that you just can’t quantify. You can’t really quantify relationships that are being built – the opportunities for kids to work in a more intimate environment with their teachers. One of the biggest sources of positive feedback that we have received from parents, students and teachers is just that ability to build stronger relationships and connections with one another,” said Gutierrez. Gutierrez says while the end goal is the same, the road to get there can be quite different for the campuses and each of the respective classrooms. Intersession, pg. 2
