ORGANIZATION FOR LEARNING

School Hours - effective September 5, 2023

The timetable utilized by our school allows students to have core classes each day (Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies).  Physical education and three complementary classes during each rotation are provided every other day.

Student timetables are prepared individually rather than in class groupings.

Please see the daily schedule we employed this past year below.  Also, please note that to provide extra time and support for learning, students may be invited or required to attend LEAP (Literary, Learning, Enrichment, Application, Practice) one or more days each week.  Please note that LEAP is part of the regularly scheduled school day.

While slight adjustments occur from year to year, the 2023-24 schedule will be similar in that each day will have 6 periods, all students will have access to core classes (LA, Math, Social Studies, Science), a nutrition break and a lunch break will be included.  Access to PE, Second Language and option classes will occur every other day.

Vernon Barford employs a Day 1 and Day 2 timetable schedule (see sample below), and the school year is divided into several segments.
