Team Leaders have information regarding the master schedule and will be sharing that with you soon if they have not already. Everyone will receive a copy Aug. 20th. Thank you to our scheduling committee for creating our master schedule. It was wonderful watching as the group worked together to best meet the needs of all of our students. Compromise is a beautiful thing!
