When is the best time to start building an elementary schedule?
A majority of elementary principals surveyed by District Management Group reported starting their schedules in April or later. However, there are many benefits to starting as early as January, with a defined elementary school schedule process, clear roles and responsibilities, and ensuring time to iterate and make adjustments based on emerging data. This can improve the quality of the schedule as well as reduce the stress of scheduling as the end of the school year approaches.
