Please find the URL for a informative article on scheduling in middle school. With our new flexible space learning environment, this will need considerable thought and planning. You will have to cut and paste the URL into your browser, then it should open and be readable. Please read as background for Wednesday's PEC meeting. I hope our product can be criteria or characteristics to consider about the middle school schedule in our new learning environment.
