- Three, 12-week trimesters. Progress reports half way through each trimester. Multi-Age/Projects Science and History classes rotate every 6 weeks.
- Block Schedule – 95-98 minute classes – A/B days; 3 periods each day plus Advisory, one 15-minute break and one 40 minute lunch period. Students can access the field and blacktop during both breaks. Zero period 45 minutes daily.
- Advisory Class: 23 minutes everyday except Wednesday. Students are in mixed grade levels and stay with that same teacher for 3 years. This class becomes their ‘home base’ for academic and social/emotional support. Your student’s Advisory teacher is your first, best contact for meeting your student’s needs. On Mondays, students participate in a ‘Circle of Power and Respect’ (CPR) with their Advisory class that is connected with the Words of Wisdom for the week. Throughout the rest of the week, Advisory teachers provide academic support through grade checks and study skills practice. In addition, there may be school-wide lessons that focus on our school vision and life skills as well as team building activities.
