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 5th 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.

• 1st Period Off Roll = Any 9th Grade Student
• 5th Period Off Roll = 9th Grade Students who earn a

3.0 GPA or above in their previous grading period
