Block Day Absences

Each block schedule period equals 2 hours of instruction time. On block schedule days, for attendance taking purposes, the computer recognizes a 2-hour window for each block class. This is why, for example, on a 2/4/6 block schedule if your student is late or absent during the first hour of period 6 you may be notified your student was late or has an absence in period 5 as the computer recognizes the 2-hour window for period 6 as periods 5 and 6 combined as outlined below:

 

Block Schedule 1/3/5/7   Block Schedule 2/4/6
Periods   Period Periods   Period
1 = 1 1 = 2
2 2
3 = 3 3 = 4
4 4
5 = 5 5 = 6
6 6
7   7        
8
