that I have already touted to others as outstanding. We are JK-12, one
cafeteria. Two gyms, but only sort of.
There's a 10 day rotation (really a 5 day for cross divisional planning
purposes). US students take 6 classes, no study halls. On the days with
"short" classes (55 min), one department drops their classes for
professional development, planning, etc. Kids have that period to get extr=
a
help, study, read, catch up, etc.
On the days with long classes, no one drops.
The advisory curriculum is deep and rich.
The classes rotate in the am/pm blocks to accommodate teachers who are
across divisions.
I have a week of our student planner which might help you visualize what al=
l
this is like in action. I attached it to the email, but it got
rejected. I'll post it on
