Our high school students will attend five days a week with 300 minutes of class time per day. At the secondary level, a student cohort, i.e., number of other students they come into contact with throughout the course of the day should not exceed 100.
In order to maintain this student cohort, secondary schools we will be using a quadmester school timetable. This timetable will have one period per day, but with full student attendance.
In a “quadmester” system students will have two periods for ¼ of the year. For example:
Quad #1: Period 1&2 from September 10 until November 9
Quad #2: Period 3&4 from November 12 until January 28
Quad #3: Period 5&6 from February 3 until April 16
Quad #4: Period 7&8 from April 21 to June 23
Typical Day for In-Class Learners
-
In order to limit the number of direct contacts for students and staff each day, only one course will be taken each day, for one week at a time.
-
Each course will be delivered in class, all day, for one week and then students will switch to their alternate course the following week. Students will follow a two-week cycle - e.g., In quad #1, students will remain in period 1 for the entire day for one week, and then switch to period 2 for the entire day the second week.
-
These courses and weeks will alternate back and forth throughout “quad one”.
-
Until further notice, for the health and safety of students and staff, there will be no locker assignments, food service in cafeterias, field trips or co-curricular activities for students.
-
The in-class school schedule will be aligned with the bussing schedules as closely as possible.
