Chesapeake to pilot new block schedule at 3 middle schools next year
On Mondays, students will have seven, 45-minute periods to ease into the school week and set goals. For the rest of the week, students will have two, 90-minute block periods each day, alternating the four core subjects of math, English, science and social studies. The remaining time will be filled with 50-minute classes such as physical education, art, music and other non-core subjects. School start and end times will not change.
