Three-In-One

A person new to California may have some difficulty distinguishing the different schools in one building on Trojan Way. Here are some of the diffences in each school that should be noticed: a K-4 elementary school, 5/6 Intermediate Middle School, and a 7/8 Middle School. Each school operates on its' own schedule and is staffed independently. Mr. Sears is principal of the K-4 program while I am instructional leader of the Intermediate Middle School and Middle School. The schools share specialist teachers such as Physical Education, Music, Library, and Art to name of few. K-6 students ride the same buses, but are dismissed from class at different times at the end of the day. K-4 begins dismissal at 3:00 p.m. with parent pickup followed by general dismissal of grades K-6 at 3:06. These are just a few of the operational and physical characteristics of the three schools that may provide clarity for the uninformed. More to follow.
