Daily Schedule

The Horizons staff has implemented a unique school calendar that lengthens the school day to provide longer blocks of uninterrupted learning time on Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, students are dismissed between 12:05 and 12:15 to allow the K-8 faculty and staff to meet together to coordinate educational programs (see schedule on following page).

Family Conference Weeks
For three days in October and again, in February, time is set aside for students to lead one-hour conferences. Teachers, parents, and students review portfolios, discuss progress, and set learning goals together.

Teacher Inservice/Planning Days
Horizons teachers share several days per year for professional development and planning and to participate in joint cross-grade activities related to the Horizons curriculum. As with conferences, there are no classes these days and Adventure Day activities are offered.
