Could a 4-Day School Week in Williston ND Work?

If you’ve ever dreamed of an extended weekend, you’re not alone. The students in Williston High School’s COMM 110 class are pondering the idea of a 4-day school week for District #7, and they want to hear from you! Remember, this is a student-led survey. No decisions have been made. 

Students Lead the Way: Share Your Thoughts in Their Quick Survey!

Led by their teacher, Mrs. Irgens, this research project is putting the power of curiosity in the hands of students. They’ve crafted a survey that’s as quick as a Friday afternoon pep rally and are asking parents and community members to weigh in on the idea.

Imagining the Possibilities of a 4-Day School Week

But before you grab your coffee and click the link, let’s pause to imagine the possibilities. A 4-day school week could mean fewer school runs, more time for family adventures, and maybe even a little extra snooze time for students and parents alike. Of course, it might also mean adjusting schedules and tackling a mountain of homework in just four days.

The best part? This isn’t an official district proposal (yet). It’s a student-led initiative that’s giving these budding researchers a chance to dive into real-world problem-solving. By sharing your thoughts, you’re not just shaping the conversation—you’re helping these students build skills they’ll carry long after the bell rings.

So, Williston, what do you think? Is the 4-day week a game-changer or just wishful thinking? Take the survey, share your ideas, and let’s see where this discussion leads. After all, who better to shape the future than the students living it? Remember, this is a student-led survey. No decisions have been made. 

Your weekend could be counting on you.
