There are 2 ways we are going to do that during the PRIDE Period:
Give students Flexibility to pursue interest and goals
Give students time to Focus on important skills
We couldn’t possibly offer all the classes students want or need. Rather, we will structure some time during the school day to provide students the flexibility to pursue their goals and the focus to narrow in on the necessary skills needed to meet those goals.

6. Flexibility
All students on PRIDE Period at the same time means all students have access to all of their subjects, all of their teachers, during the school day.
Technology allows unlimited access to enrichment opportunities
Increased learning time for those who need it, more choices for those who don’t

Make up assignments and tests

Teachers serve as mentors- progress monitoring achievement and attendance
Individualized instruction and interventions in areas of need
