Design by Julio Roque, 12th grade. Galt Joint Union High School District Plans to Implement an A/B Hybrid Block Schedule
After meeting with and surveying teachers, students, parents and community members, holding public hearings, and working with individual departments to identify the schedule that best meets student’s instructional needs, the Galt Joint Union High School District plans to implement an A/B hybrid block schedule for the 2016/17 school year. The rationale for moving toward a block schedule is to maximize student access and opportunities to meet college AG requirements, participate in career technical education, and receive the necessary support and acceleration classes in order to ensure all students are college and career ready. A block schedule provides the foundation for ensuring not only that all of our students will access rigorous college preparatory classes but also the career technical educational pathways that prepare them for success beyond high school. With initial schedules completed, ninety percent of our students’ course requests were satisfied. This percentage represents an increase in students’ access to core and elective classes of their choice over prior years. The District is in the process of inviting students to review their 2016/17 course requests and to make any individual adjustments between now and mid-April. We anticipate that teachers and students will begin summer with their 2016/17 schedules in hand. What is an A/B Hybrid Schedule? In an A/B Hybrid Schedule, the school year is divided into two semesters and the school day is divided into four instructional blocks of 90minute periods. Some of the classes are on an A/B schedule, which means they are taught every other day, while others are on a 4x4 schedule and are taught daily. A/B courses run all year long and 4X4 courses run for one semester. In the compacted timeline of the 4X4 class, an entire year’s curriculum is taught in a single semester. The following types of classes will be taught mostly on an A/B schedule: Agriculture, AVID, Leadership, Link Crew, Yearbook, performing arts, many Advanced Placement classes, and some world languages. The following types of classes will be taught mostly on a 4X4 schedule: All academic core classes (English language arts, mathematics, science, and social science, with the exception of most of the Advanced Placement classes), physical education, fine arts, BEST Academy, and information technology. There are some exceptions to the listings above based upon the individual class needs. For example, Ag Diesel courses are run on a 4X4 because there are only fourteen stations and staff wanted to increase access to these courses for students. How do I Make Sure my Child has the Right Classes? An autodialer reminder was sent to families on April 5 requesting that they review their student’s course list and contact the school counseling office no later than April 15 if they would like to make changes in their course requests. To check your student’s course requests, please visit powerschool.ghsd.k12.ca.us, login, and click the link for course registration. You will see your student’s 2016/17 course selections. The course list showing what classes will be taught next year can be found on each school’s website. Students who wish to make changes in their choices should be sure to contact their school counselor by 3:00 p.m. on April 15, 2016.
