Get ready for a mental workout. You never know what your teachers will have up their sleeves.

Students have rotating table assignments to help them get to know adults and other students in the community.

Asking questions and getting feedback, guidance, and extra help is easy when time for that stuff is built into the daily schedule.

A chance to catch up on your assignments before afternoon athletics begin.

2:30 p.m. - Afternoon Snack
Fuel up with a delicious and healthy snack.

3:00 p.m. - Athletics or Thursday Clubs
There is a team for everyone, no matter which season we're in. Go Cougars!

Play outdoors with your Cardigan brothers, meet friends in the Haven, catch up on some reading... it's your time to choose! 

6:15 p.m. - Dinner
Meals are a time to practice courtesy and good manners. After all, social skills are life skills.

7:30 p.m. - Study Hall
Homework: It’s a fact of life. This time is set aside to make sure you get it done.

9:30 p.m. - Lights Out
(10:00 for Ninth Graders)

Look at all you accomplished in one day! Hey, you’re starting to get the hang of time management and a balanced lifestyle!

Can we help you?
