4 Day School Week for Students

Imagine a school week with more time for learning, rest, and rejuvenation. That's the magic of a four-day school week in Carlton Public Schools. By condensing our schedule, we provide students an extra day for enrichment, extracurriculars, and family time. With longer weekends, students experience reduced stress and fatigue, leading to increased focus and productivity in the classroom. Moreover, it allows for flexible scheduling for working parents and promotes a healthier work-life balance for all involved. Embracing a four-day school week isn't just about saving time; it's about investing in the well-being and success of our students and community.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to join a community where every student thrives. Enroll in Carlton Public Schools today and embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and success.

Staff Testimonials

Molly

"Carlton is an amazing school where everyone is so valued. I moved schools to teach here this year and I have never felt more at home. The staff has been so welcoming and inclusive. Because the school is smaller I have gotten to know kids all throughout the school. I have never seen such an involved community inside and outside of the school. Carlton is a school that puts the needs of its learners and their families first. They care about the whole child, not just their academics. This community is a wonderful place for children to grow in all aspects of themselves and become great. I am proud to be a Carlton Bulldog and I am eager for my children to join this school one day and continue to carry on the traditions of what make this school so great. " - Molly Steede, 2nd Grade Teacher

"Carlton High School offers 39 college credits through College In the Schools classes. This allows students to maintain a strong connection to high school staff, classmates, and activities while earning college credit. It is a way for students to earn dual credit without worries about transportation or parent concerns that they are unable to view their child's grades (which is not the case with PSEO courses).   On a personal note, my child has been able to participate in every activity she has been interested in. If a club or activity was not previously offered, staff have been willing to step in to make it available. The dedication of the Carlton MS/HS staff in regards to providing robust opportunities to kids is unmatched. " - Amanda Radtke, HS Counselor

"This school is very welcoming and beyond that, deep connections are made very quickly. Every student at this school has a whole community of staff wanting to support them for the most successful school career the students can have. The staff go above and beyond the expectations to get students where they need to be emotionally and academically."  Jamie Duncan, Elementary Sped Teacher
