Los Penasquitos ElementaryAcademy
The Los Penasquitos Academy is a school-within-a-school established in July of 2000 with an initial fourth and fifth grade class and has now grown to one third, two fourth, and two fifth grade rooms. The Academy is a unique 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade magnet program where families choose to have their child attend school for four additional hours each school week and an extra eight days during the summer. The extra time allows for added emphasis on literacy, science, math, and community building.4th and 5th Grade Schedule Beginning Bell 7:55am10:45am-11:00am Recess11:45am-12:25pm Lunch2pm-2:20pm RecessEnd of Day 4pm
