We moved to new schedules in the middle and upper school this year. We've
had rotating schedules in the US for years so the change was more in the
fact that they meet less often but for a longer period. The middle school
schedule was a big change as for the first time they also have a rotating
schedule. I haven't heard a lot of positive comments about it but I haven't
asked much either. What I have mostly heard is that middle schoolers aren't
ready for rotating schedules, they need more consistency, they need to see
their teachers every day. Below is a link to the page that explains the
changes, with links to the two division schedules.

Good morning, all,
Help needed! I would really appreciate some data on the number of K-8
schools in BAISL that currently use block or other forms of flexible
scheduling, as opposed to the traditional 45 or 55 minute, 6-period day,
along with a few highlights/drawbacks of that alternative scheduling.
Thank you so much!
Laurie
