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.

Professional Learning communities are, what teachers at NFP will be doing during this
time and how it will benefit your
child!
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.
