Viewing the Class Schedule in the Portal

The screenshot shows these steps in the parent portal:

  1. After completing re-enrollment, click on “Class Schedule.”
  2. View your student’s schedule here.

Schedule Code Key

The first column indicates which subject is being taught:

  • 00 is the student’s homeroom
  • 01 is always Language Arts
  • 02 is always Math
  • 03 is always Science
  • 04 is always Social Studies
  • 99 is Spanish Language Acquisition for students in the DLI Program

The second column has the following meaning:

  • The homeroom teacher is always listed first.
  • The letters in parentheses indicate which program the student is in: DLI for the Spanish Immersion Program, TRA for the traditional program.
  • The next set of letters indicates when that subject is taught (see the chart on page 2).
  • The teacher’s name in all capital letters at the end is the teacher who is teaching that subject (for example, math, science, or Spanish).
  • Note: Some sections have an X or a Y before the program descriptor. This is for internal use only and means the original homeroom is split into two groups for that subject.

Example

Social Studies 5 (SSS) — Wood (DLI) P2 – ELLE CHOUNLAMOUNTRY

  • This is a 5th grade Social Studies class.
  • Wood is the homeroom teacher. This student is in the DLI program. The instruction occurs during period 2.
  • Ms. Counlamountry is the teacher providing the Social Studies instruction during period 2 to Ms. Wood’s homeroom students.

1st Grade Schedule

1st Grade – students switch classes halfway through the day. They start every day in their homeroom and rotate in the afternoon to any courses on their schedule with a PM before the teacher’s name in ALL CAPS.

2nd and 3rd Grade Schedule

2nd and 3rd Grade – students switch classes halfway through the day, but they also alternate which teacher they start the day with on a modified A-B Calendar. We follow the district A-B Calendar every day except Fridays. Fridays are always A days. See the calendar image below for a copy of the district’s 2026-2027 A-B Calendar.

4th and 5th Grade Schedule

4th and 5th Grade – students switch classes about every 75 minutes, four times per day. Some classes are combined for two periods in a row. There are four versions of the 4th and 5th grade schedule; each student only has one of the four schedules below. Even though there are four periods, students only have three teachers per day.
