We have forecasting for classes in the 2025-2026 school year going on right now. Make sure you are checking in with your student about what classes they are adding to their schedules. There are some important schedule changes in April that we’d like to make you aware of. Many fun things happening over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Important District Schedule Changes in April
Yesterday we reached an approval for our schedules during the weeks of 4/7 and 4/14. We have made changes to the district calendar and are attaching a screenshot of what those weeks will look like.
 
The C day before grading allows students to connect with all of their teachers before grading day and it also maintains that we will not need to re-order the A/B sequence for the rest of the year. 

The Testing day on 4/18th is a HALF DAY. Students will be released at 12:30pm. We are trying to give as much advance notice to parents that this is a half day and that buses will not be running an early schedule. They will be running a regular transportation schedule. Further Testing Day details will be forthcoming
