Trimester vs.
Traditional Semester

Trimester allows flexibility
◦ 4 or 5 classes/trimester
◦ 4 classes + off-roll period (all 4 years)
 Equals same course load as “traditional semester”
 Can still fit in all HS graduation & college requirements
◦ 5 classes/trimester




Extra/heavier academic load
Opportunity to explore or fit in-depth area of interest
Great for athletes to take off roll
Band, ASB, Yearbook, etc. fit well as 5th class
Off Roll
What is it?
“Off Roll” is a time in the student’s day when
they are not enrolled in a class.
 Students who are passing their courses can
choose up to one off roll period per
trimester.

◦ 1st Period Off Roll = Any 9th Grade Student
◦ 5th Period Off Roll = 9th Grade Students who earn a
3.0 GPA or above in their previous grading period
