I'm just wondering how other schools deal with study halls. Right now we are creating sections for every block of every day and it's so bulky and confusing, but I can't figure out a better way since B block on Monday might have different students and a different teacher than B block on Wednesday and so on.

Any suggestions or examples would be amazingly appreciated.

Thanks!

    @Laura Curry - We have a 7-day rotating schedule. Some classes meet 7 days out of 7, and some half-credit classes meet 3 or 4 days. Some “classes” meet once per rotation.

    Like you, teacher/proctor and the students expected to attend changes from day to day, period to period.

    • Teachers proctor one class period per rotation
    • A student may be required to attend study hall each day, but may be excused on a particular day to attend a regular scheduled private lesson with another teacher.

    We created a Study Hall class for each letter day (STHALL-A, STHALL_B, etc), with a section for each class period. It is a bit tedious, but it allows complete flexibility to put students into a study hall section that fits around other obligations. Study Halls are added to student schedules last, after everything else is in place.
