The
Timber Drive Family will provide the challenging educational experiences
that will prepare all students to effectively function in
a global society.
Timber Drive Elementary operates
on the year-round calendar. Students at the year-round schools are divided
into four groups,
called tracks, with each track having its own calendar. In a year-round
elementary school, the traditional 180-day school year is divided into
nine-week quarters with a three week break at the end
of each quarter.
Students are in school the same number of days as their counterparts
in traditional schools; the days are simply redistributed thoughout
the year. The reorganized schedule is called a 45/15 - 45 days in school,
15 days off. Schedules are staggered so that, at any given time, three
tracks are in school and one is on break. These staggered schedules
make it possible for the school to serve up to thirty-three percent
more students than its intended capacity.

Year-round schools provide a
more continuous learning process. Since students do not have long summer
vacations, major reviewing in the fall is eliminated. Students and teachers
are more energized throughout the year due to regular breaks. The three-week
breaks provide frequent enrichment and remedial opportunities for students
during the year.
