A: Based on survey results, PXU chose a hybrid model to meet the needs of all teachers, students, and the community. Block scheduling provides more time to dive deeper into learning objectives, provide enrichment/intervention opportunities, complete labs, and develop projects; while a traditional bell schedule allows teachers to see students daily, provides consistency, and helps minimize the impact of absences. The intent of the hybrid schedule is to have the best of both experiences.

A: Classes are slightly longer this year to ensure that we comply with Arizona Department of Education minute requirements associated with special programs.

A: Since most campuses organize lunch by building, Synergy is unable to discern a change is lunch based upon the building. For example, students may have Lunch A Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, but Lunch B (due to a different building) on Thursday. Synergy can only flip with one class.

A: The use of Mondays aligns with iDays and provides consistency with modified days.

A: Yes, iDays will continue to be a part of our school calendar for the 2023-2024 school year. The structure and format for these days will be slightly adjusted for increased efficiency for student support and adult learning. The iDays for the 2023-2024 school year are located at PXU.org/iDays.
