Master Schedule and Grade Level Schedules
The Master Schedule is complete. Teams may start working on a daily schedule. Grade level daily schedules should be submitted to administration by May 10th for review. Administration works over the summer to build SPED schedules and the grade level schedules are used to do that work. If you need help with your schedule an administrator or one of the coaches would be happy to help.
