Glimpse of a school day

The students will be assigned a homeroom teacher who will have a teaching partner(s). 

The students will learn from all teachers throughout the day. For example, the homeroom teacher may teach math and science and the partner teacher will teach reading/writing and social studies.

In addition, the students will have their “specials” (Art, Music, Physical Education, and Technology) along with an enrichment class each trimester.

Lockers

Each student will be assigned a locker. The lockers do have locks on them, and students will receive their locker combinations the first week of school. Teachers will give the students instruction and time to learn how to open their lockers.
