PB Schedule

PB Schedule

Setting the PB cycle schedule defines the starting and ending dates for each phase. This helps students plan their activities as they know in advance how much time is allocated for each phase

When setting the schedule, is helpful to take into account holidays, semi-annual/annual events that require students’ attention (e.g., finals week, homecoming, college application season), and of course, the school year.

Don’t worry too much about setting the schedule. The FirstRoot app makes it easy to manage your schedule, even while the PB cycle is active. For example, you can easily advance to the next phase or return to a previous phase based on your specific circumstances.
