Important Bell Schedule Changes (next week!)
Starting Monday, August 23rd, we will begin our regular bell schedule for the 2021-2022 school year. New this year, we are implementing an Individual Learning Time (ILT) for each class period. The ILT period will be used by teachers to provide additional support and supplemental instruction for their classes.
To accommodate the ILT period for each class, we will be utilizing a two-week rotating schedule. Below are the two schedules, Green Week and Gold Week. Next week will be a Green Week, students will follow the daily bell schedule as outlined below. Wednesdays will still be Late Start, with classes starting at 9:30 am and no ILT period. We will make sure students are aware of the daily schedule and the appropriate bell times for that day.
Textbook Distribution
For the 2021-2022 school year, we will be issuing textbooks as we have done in the past through each of your students’ classes. Student textbooks will be distributed during the week of August 23-27. Students will be escorted to the bookroom by each of their teachers at a scheduled time.
