Schedules: priorities & challenges

Hello colleagues,

We are beginning the process of re-evaluating our current school schedule
and are interested in what other schools use & how they feel it supports
their mission. A few factors impacting our schedule design are:
(1) we are a Pk-12 school
(2) we share one dining hall and one gym
(3) some faculty members work across divisions & thus our schedules nee=
d
to be aligned.=20

We currently have a 6-day block rotation, but are interested in exploring
options that would put us on a 5-day cycle while still supporting
opportunities for longer classes and varying of class times. Additionally,
we hope to open up more flexibility for differentiation amongst the
schedules for the 3 divisions.

So if you have a schedule that you like, we=B9d love to know:
(1) what the schedule is
(2) what priorities you feel it conveys
(3) what challenges it presents

Thank you,
The MPH administrative team
