Our Guiding Statement

Learn about our IB Framework

4th Grade Specials follow a rotating schedule that starts with Day 1 on the first day of school. Students cycle through five days, and if there’s a planned day off, we simply pick up with the next scheduled day when school resumes. However, if there's an unexpected school closure, we skip that day's Special and continue with the next day in the rotation.

On Fridays, instead of Specials, students participate in Electives. For example, if Thursday is Day 4, then Friday will be Electives, and Monday will be Day 5. We also have Science Lab and Library check-out on Fridays. While Library lessons may occur on other days, book check-outs will only happen on Fridays. See below rotation for your homeroom teacher.
