PITTSBURGH – New for the 2019-20 school year, the district’s elementary schools will be utilizing a departmentalization model for grades four through six.

Departmentalization allows teachers to specialize in specific subject areas and, in many cases, team up with another teacher. The same group of students then switch between the two teachers who make up the team.
