Supplies and Organization
In middle school, students have two morning classes followed by a midday block for lunch, music or elective, and CREW. After that they have two more classes. The classes follow a three day rotation with two classes dropped each day. Some days students have three academic classes and a Specials area class (Health, PE, APE); other days they have four academic classes. Therefore, we recommend students organize themselves according to their personal schedule.
