We have eight class slots, called blocks, labeled A to H. <br /><br />In a five day week:<br /><br />Mon: A, B, Assembly C, D (75 minutes each class, 30 minute assembly)<br />Tue: E, F, Club, G, H (75, 30)<br />Wed: B, E, A, F, D, C (55)<br />Thu: A, B, Assembly, H, C, G (55)<br />Fri: F, E, Assembly, D, G, H (55)<br /><br />In a four day week, we do a Mon, Tue, Mon, Tue schedule but with the classes in a different order.<br /><br />In a three day week, we do a Wed, Thur, Fri schedule, but in Thur, Wed, Fri order.<br /><br />Additionally, we get off early on Fridays (we are a Jewish School) as sunset gets earlier. So, October through March we cut out the assembly on Fridays.<br /><br />https://www.jchsofthebay.org/page/Academics/Weekly-Schedulekossoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171333273130114361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31189917.post-23046345704125808792013-08-11T04:24:28.805-07:002013-08-11T04:24:28.805-07:00Ah yes, the Homeroom Menace.

Now if we had a week where there was a holiday on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, the schedule would get shifted and Monday would become a block day.<br /><br />The types of schedules which I think are the craziest are the ones that have two different lunch schedules (i.e. "1st Lunch" and "2nd Lunch"). The schools in Roseville use this schedule:<br />http://www.rosevilletigers.org/cms/lib03/CA01920484/Centricity/Domain/30/Bell%20Schedule.pdfJonathannoreply@blogger.com
