Thursday Rotation Updates

Our PES Leadership met last week and made some changes to our Thursday Rotation Calendar.  Originally, we were going to shift rotations in conjunction with the end of the 9 weeks but this does not align with our goals.  Rather, we will follow the schedule below for Grades 3-5.  (Grade 2 is still TBD).

We will begin EnRICh on Thursday 11/2 and it will run for 10 weeks (November-January). 

Note: We may make a few adjustments and begin earlier for Musical Theatre, Math Team and/or Science Olympiad, based on deadlines/competitions.

ACAP Review & Preparation - Thursdays from 1:00-1:50 - February 1 through April 4.

We will shift our Thursday rotations to ACAP preparation and review (for grades 2-5).  This rotation will begin on Thursday 2/1 and will run until Thursday 4/4.
