Long Classes =Deeper Lessons Taught

• By extending the class periods teachers will have more flexibility to teach to the lesson.

• Each class will focus on two subjects, teachers will have two 45 min sessions for their lessons.

• However, the teachers will have the ability to extend any given lesson they feel the class may need more time on.

• This will allow the students to get a stronger grasp on lessons before the teacher moves on.

5th Grade Class Schedule

• We will have two 5th Grade Classes. They will be self- contained classes.

• 5th Grade will no longer rotate with the Middle School, They will be considered “Middle School” but they will be in separate classes.

issued shirts. Shirts can be purchased throughout the summer and at registration.
