Kell will move to a modified hybrid block schedule  Most students will meet daily in four, 90-minute classes that meet every day for a semester; at the end of the semester, students earn a full year of credit.  Some classes, such as AP and upper level performing arts classes are on a hybrid schedule. These classes meet all year on an alternating A and B Day schedule.

 This will allow students to take a minimum of 8 classes each year which totals a minimum of 32 credits over 4 years.  Most students will now be able to earn more credits in an area of interest and/or have more opportunities to take additional classes that may not have had the opportunity to take on a traditional schedule.

Meets the needs of a wide variety of students – Special education, struggling learners, average learners, high achievers, AP Allows students greater opportunity to take more “high interest” courses Fewer classes at one time for struggling learners

Increased opportunity for credit recovery (students are better able to stay on track and graduate “on time”) Students take fewer courses at one time and many meet daily, allowing students and teachers to get to know each other

Length of classes are all the same Fewer preparations for most teachers – more opportunity to hone in on what you are teaching Fewer classes and students at one time for most teachers gives them the opportunity to concentrate on students

NOTE: Please keep in mind that many A/B courses come with a pre- determined “pairing.” For example, if you sign up for Honors Spanish IV, you will automatically have AP Spanish V paired with it as well.
