AR Project Summary (at least 250 words):

I am working with my administration to create the master schedule for next year. We met recently, and went over schedules from several different campuses. We discussed pros, cons, and how each one would or would not work for our campus. At that time, I was tasked with creating a master schedule. I have decided to do so using a board and colored sticky notes for each grade level. Specials (music/PE), lunch, PLCs, and intervention time have to be included for preK, K, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
