If you are the parent of a middle school student this year, you've probably already heard about the changes made to your child's school day.
Middle schools have adopted a form of block scheduling, which allows for extended instructional time in the core subjects of reading and mathematics. Students will receive instruction in those two subjects every day, with science and social studies offered on alternating days.
This new schedule also builds in an hour of additional instructional time - in the form of remediation or enrichment - for students who could benefit.
Full details of this schedule at the link.
