2009-10 Instructional Day

In order to find time during the school day for teachers to engage in professional learning communities, the WCPSS Board of Education has made a few important changes to the schedule for the 2009-2010 school year.

Changes for 2009-10 include:
* Adding 10 minutes to the instructional day. This means that the instructional day at NFP will run from 8:20-3:00 for the 2009-2010 school year. We will still begin AM carpool and bus drop off at 8:00 AM.
* Releasing 1 hour early every Wednesday. At NFP that means we will begin dismissal at 2:00 PM every Wednesday during the 2009-2010 school year.
* Creating 8 Early Release Days during the school year (6 per track). On these 8 days (they are all on Wednesdays) NFP will begin dismissal at 12:30 PM.

At North Forest Pines, we are committed to doing everything we can to make sure we meet every child's unique needs. That is why Professional Learning Communities (PLC's) are the backbone of how we operate. We are looking forward to the time the WCPSS Board of Education has provided for us to engage in PLC's on Wednesday afternoons during the 2009-2010 school year. To learn more about PLC's please watch the video podcast or visit Mr. McCabe's website.
