8 credit day Hybrid Block in morning, Daily in afternoon A-B day Morning elective Schedule 52 min Tech Center 1st block 7:50 9:35 2nd block 9:40 11:20 The benefit of this schedule is that the outlying students get to stay on the A/B 1st 7:50 9:34 schedule and still are able to earn 8 credits a semester. Students would attend afternoon classes every day, and A-B in the morning. This 2nd 9:38 11:22 allows 4 credits in the morning, and 4 credits in the afternoon This allows for a daily flex time of 20 minutes rotated daily between the afternoon classes for intervention and enhancement of class content based on individual class needs.
