Six Day Cycle Updated
8-27-08
Beginning in September 2005, all schools went to a six
day cycle. Previously only Bellefonte Middle School and High
School were on this schedule. This means that our four
elementary buildings will have 1-2-3-4-5-6 six day cycle
instead of five day, Monday through Friday weeks. The
benefits are:
-
Continuity of programs in special area subjects, since
no day is ever lost or skipped due to holidays, snow
days, etc.
-
District wide equity in all subject areas.
-
Ability to share K-12 certified staff district-wide in
an equitable manner
Students may now tell you they
have a band rehearsal every day "2" , or that they need their
sneakers for Physical Education on day "3" . As we adjust to the
change, it is important to realize the value of every child
having an equal number of learning opportunities in all the
content areas throughout the year.
The first day of school
which is Tuesday September 2, 2008 will be day ”1" for all
students throughout the district. Please keep in mind that
the calendar may change due to snow days or unforeseen
building closures.
