Innovation has been key in developing our school schedule. In January, we kicked off a partnership with Rhode Island Department of Education and Abl to create an innovative school schedule to meet the needs of our students, staff and school community. Monday to Thursday we have 5 periods of instruction and on Fridays we have the MAGN’T schedule. MAGN’T stands for Music, Art, Gym and Technology. Teachers and educators spend the entire day on Friday in a series of professional development, in individual planning time and collaboration.  Check out our students during MAGN’T. Happy Friday everyone!

The messaging is designed to work in tandem with current initiatives being used by communities.
