Dear Parents/ Guardians of the Junior/Senior High School,

We are happy to share that student schedules and teaming assignment are posted on School Tool. There were a number of conditions that went into designing this year’s academic program under the current COVID-19 pandemic. Please review the following information and rationale:

Schedules:

  •     As a school we are at a 95% completion on all student schedules, however;    

      o   Study halls have not yet been assigned   
      o   AIS classes will be assigned once we convene the NWEA benchmark assessment in September
      o   If your schedule shows 5 or less classes, a counselor will reach out to you
      o   Schedules are subject to change as our program evolves
      o   Distance Learning Classes are currently being reviewed and might be altered

Teaming (Green/White)

  •    Teams were developed using the following method:

      o   Students were separated alphabetically and priorities were given to keeping family members and children in the same household together on the same team.
      o   We then reviewed the special education students and students with special circumstances.
      o   Once we separated the list we reviewed each course section and adjusted the team to create evenly divided groups that allowed for a safe learning environment.
      o   The balance between green and white is very intentional and essential to maintaining balance not only for the classes but also for transportation.
      o   In the event you wish to request a team change the following will be considered:
            §  Transportation issues;
            §  Medical needs / concerns;
            §  Requests will not be honored for social reasons.
            §  Each request will be reviewed by the administration and guidance department to evaluate the effects of the change on the overall balance of teams.
