Why a Late Start on Wednesdays?

Wondering why 1st through 8th grades have a late start on Wednesdays? Our teachers value this dedicated time to meet with their Depth of Study (DoS) groups. These mixed-grade-level groups each focus on a different subject to research and implement curriculum best practices. They use student work to make sure their methods are effective and that their curriculums are in alignment. Our teachers do this because they know that the best way to improve student learning is to improve teaching. We love our teachers! Thank you for your commitment to educating our students.
