Schedules from Around and About

Mrs. H asked and we happened to have this information available and here is much easier to format than the silly little comment window. Some information is not available and few schedules include a lunch because all of the schools have an extra long period during which a 20-minute to 30-minute lunch is extracted. Simplicity dictated we not mention lunch. If this is helpful to anyone, have at it.

This is mostly boring and is hidden below the jump:

4 Block ("4 by 4") BFA-Fairfax

90 D E D E E

90 B C A B A

90 C A B C
2:30 2:30 2:30 2:30 12:35

Lunch slots into the third block.
TA happens on Tuesday and Thursday.

Since these are defined by the week: 180/5 = 36 weeks.
A, B, C are semester classes: 18*( 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 50 ) = 7380 min = 123 hrs
D, E are year-long classes: 36*( 90 + 90 + 50 ) = 8280 min = 138 hrs

D and E are randomly chosen. They are not predominantly English or Math.

  1. I am, for now, a scheduler. I can't believe I read this stuff. But it looks like something is missing or something is extra in the Beaver Blocks.

    My school - seriously....

    A B C A B
    B C B C A
    C A A B C
    D D D D D
    E E E E E
    F G F G G
    G F G F F
    x x x x H

    except no one uses those letters. They are actually designated as 1 - 7, corresponding to Monday's position.
    D-lunch for 9 and 10
    E-lunch for 11 and 12

    Every class has one day "punched out" - so a math class meets 4 days a week.
    Those punch outs get spliced together to create art, gym, music, health and research classes.

    Those x's are nothing, but the H is an extra period Friday (all periods shortened from 55 to 48 minutes), during which something like mandatory club hour takes place. We call it seminar.
    8 - 2:50 (6 hours, 50 minutes).

  3. jd,

    I fixed the Badger Block.

    Essentially, it is a traditional 8 period day, except that tuesday and wed are block periods. Tuesday is AA CC EE GG and then Wed is BB DD FF HH.
