Beginning August 24, we will go to the adopted block schedule. Students will begin each day with Advisory and then three other blocks (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday). These blocks will include live meetings and access to teachers the entire time. Wednesdays will be an independent work day. This is time for students to complete work and study. This will also allow time to train teachers and work to deliver a great distance learning experience for your child.
THESE SCHEDULES START MONDAY, AUGUST 24.
