BELL SCHEDULE
The school day will be from 8:00 am- 3:15 pm for a total of 7 hours and 15 minutes to allow for adequate instructional time plus time for enrichment and intervention services. Bus drop off will begin at 7:30 am to allow students the opportunity to be served breakfast before the school day starts. This structure also allows for a built-in enrichment/remediation period at the end of the day from 2:35 pm - 3:15pm. The instructional day will end at 2:35 pm and students will be assigned to intervention services, tutoring, clubs, activities, sports or homework time. This embedded activity period allows all students to receive tutoring services and participate in activities without the restriction of transportation. The school buses will run after the built-in activity periods. Increased exposure to STEM curriculum and an embedded activity period will help the school achieve its mission-oriented goals, and therefore fully accomplish its mission.
MCSCS students will engage in hands on learning throughout the school day. The model allows time for Language Arts and math centers in addition to the workshop style curriculum for each. There is also an emphasis on math on science instruction that reaches beyond the typical public school structures, ensuring that students are heavily engaged in STEM curriculum. The following structure will be used to ensure that students have appropriate amount of instruction and activities in all subjects:
