  Suspension of Elementary Time-Banking Days (Early Release Thursdays)

Beginning this week, all PUSD elementary schools will be suspending the use of time-banking days (Willow Grove early release Thursdays) for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. This is necessary due to an adjustment in the way ADA (Average Daily Attendance) is being calculated during the pandemic. All schools have been directed to adjust their schedules accordingly. This will result in a 5-day per week consistent daily schedule with no Thursday early release. Our instructional day will still end at roughly the same time with minimal changes. Teachers will be sharing their adjusted grade-level schedules this week.
