Willard Updates
Master Schedule SY26
We are excited to share the finalized master schedule with you! We listened closely and worked intentionally to incorporate your feedback while balancing the needs of the entire school community. Thank you our Scheduling Team!
Here is the Master Schedule for the 2025-26 school year.
Class Lists SY26
Here are the Class Lists for SY26! This is an internal document, and student placement should not be shared with families. Please honor this request, as prematurely sharing class lists leads to families requesting specific class placements.
*One last action item...if you haven't already, please be sure to include each student's last name as this spreadsheet will be used to upload rosters into PowerSchool. It makes the process smooth! :)

Please see the guidance on creating a Purchase Order.
