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.
