Schedule for Next Year!
With much thought, consideration, and effort, we have created our schedule for next year. We are very
pleased with the outcome and believe that the students and families will be too. Next year, we will operate on a year-long, block schedule with days rotating A (periods 1-4) and B (periods 5-8). The first week will have three A days and two B days, and the following week will have the reverse. We will have a two-week rotation. Days will consist of four 85-90 minute classes, and the A/B rotation results in an eight-period schedule. All of this information may make it difficult to visualize, so click here so that you can see our new and improved schedule for next year. You’ll notice that every morning has a built-in time when the students should have a snack and/or break. Each week also has club time, advisory time, and seminar time. Therefore, along with a dependable rotation(Day A and Day B), we were very intentional about also allowing for non-academic time while considering a healthy flow to the day.
The Literary Review is almost here! Copies are on track to arrive at the end of next week, so keep an eye out for them in the library. In the meantime, we are excited to announce that judge Kate Norris, author of the forthcoming novel When You and I Collide, has recognized the student writers listed below for their exemplary work.
Literary Review Prize Winner: “Sweat Like a Sinner” by Jessica Ford
Honorable Mention: “The Word” by Nina Killian
Honorable Mention: “The Din of Silence” by Caroline Hicks

“By all measures Tom has had a very successful season. He moved to three new events in the middle of the season to help the team fill holes for the championship season. It was team first for him. Whether he found the triple jump and the 300 hurdles or they found him, he has performed beyond expectations. Tom has a bright future in these events. I salute him on behalf of the entire track and field team.“ – Neville Anderson, Head Coach, Varsity Track & Field
