3. Team Concept
Each grade level has two full teams. A team consists of four teachers, one from each CORE subject.
Language Arts
Math
Science
Social Studies
Students in a team share these four teachers, which allows teachers to plan activities, testing schedules, etc. for their students.
*Note: Being on the same team does not mean students will have their CORE classes together.
