AT-HOME LEARNING TO CONTINUE THROUGH MAY 22ND
We will continue to provide learning for our students through Friday, May 22nd.
More information will be coming in the next few weeks concerning end-of-year procedures (locker cleanout, yearbooks, Chromebook check-in, etc.).
At-Home Learning Schedule
As of last week, we are now using an "A/B day" schedule to simplify daily tasks for students, teachers and parents. This has hopefully made it simpler for everyone to keep up on what needs to be done each day, while still encouraging student participation in their courses! Here are the main elements of the schedule:
- Fridays will still be "E-time Friday" with no new assignments
- Math will be every day still (M-Th)
- English will be Mondays & Wednesdays
- Science will be Tuesdays & Thursdays
- All other courses will be in either "Elective Group #1" or "Elective Group #2" (See the schedule below)
Elective Group #1 (Mon/Wed)
- Social Studies (except AP Geography which will be daily--M-Th)
- Drama, Art, Choir, Band, Orchestra
- PE
- Small Animal Science
Elective Group #2 (Tue/Thur)
- Reading, Creative Writing, Literature & Film, Journalism, Character Ed, Leadership
