Trimester  Trimester allows flexibility ◦ 4 or 5 classes/trimester ◦ 4 classes + off-roll period (all 4 years)  Can still fit in all HS graduation & college requirements ◦ 5 classes/trimester  Extra/heavier academic load  Opportunity to explore or fit in-depth area of interest  Great for athletes to take off roll  Band, ASB, Yearbook, etc. fit well as 5 th class

Off Roll What is it?  “Off Roll” is a time in the student’s day when they are not enrolled in a class.  Students who are passing their courses can choose up to one off roll period per trimester. ◦ 1 st Period Off Roll = Any 9 th Grade Student ◦ 5 th Period Off Roll = 9 th Grade Students who earn a 3.0 GPA or above in their previous grading period
