Six-Day Schedule
All elementary schools in South Brunswick are operating on a “six-day” rather
than a Monday through Friday schedule this year for specials (Art, Music, Physical
Education and Spanish). Beginning with the first full day of school, all days
throughout the year will be numbered consecutively from Day 1 through Day 6
in a repeating pattern. Regardless of the day of the week, students will have
specials based on whether it is “Day 1, 2, 3, “ etc. This type of
schedule provides a more balanced and even distribution of specials classes
throughout the year. The six-day schedule also allows all schools to more
efficiently and effectively use part-time faculty as well as those teachers
who work in ore than one school. Please note that a few programs such as ELL,
and Speech Resource Center will continue to be scheduled according to a Monday
through Friday schedule. Classroom teachers will review the schedule with students.
In order to avoid any confusion regarding what days to “dress” for
Physical Education (gym) class, all children are encouraged to come dressed
for vigorous play every day. Students will be outside for recess as often as
the weather permits, and play clothes and sneakers are always the best choice.
With the exceptions of School Picture Day and occasional concerts or performances,
all students are encouraged to wear sneakers every day.
