As part of the continuing effort in Valley View School District 365U to improve the student educational experience, VVSD will adopt a block scheduling format for middle school students beginning with the 2018-19 school year. The length of class periods will be 82 minutes and daily student schedules will alternate between “A” days and “B” days.

The starting time of the school day and dismissal time will not be affected by the change to the block schedule format. The middle school day will begin at 8:25 a.m. with dismissal taking place at 2:35 p.m. Dismissal on early release days will also remain unchanged at 1:20 p.m.

Students will have four classes on a daily basis. All students will have Math and Language Arts every day and will have Science & Technology, Social Studies, and Physical Education every other day. All students will have a choice between Band or Careers for their final course, which will also meets every other day.
