Greetings Students, I would like to express my concern for teacher-student burnout. Students are struggling to adjust back to a full 8/hour 5 day-week schedule. Some high schools, our high school included, (Henrico High School, Hermitage High School, and Varina High School) have also transitioned to an 8 block schedule.  Students on this new 8 block schedule are also trying to adjust with an even heavier course load when many students were already struggling with mental health and school-life balance. All of these factors are contributing to a formula for burnout. While we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, I urge you to reinstate out-of-school Wellness Wednesdays. The county needs to address the needs of both teachers and students. The status quo is not sustainable and we cannot just go back to "normal".
