| Daily Schedule |
Here is what we do each day and approximately when we do it. |
School begins at 7:55 a.m. I open the door for students at 7:50 (when the first bell rings). At 7:55 the tardy bell rings. Between 7:55 and 8:00 students are expected to be unpacked, ready for the day, scanning their math homework, and doing morning work. The school day ends at 2:25 p.m. (and we aim to leave the classroom at 2:28) except for on Tuesdays when it ends at 12:25.
Special classes for all third grade students are each day from 8:15-9:05 a.m., except for on Tuesdays (8:05-8:40). Students attend special classes on a two-week rotation schedule. In a two week period, third grade students attend pe class four times, art class three times, the computer lab once, and go to the library once. Third grade students will not take music class.
