Period-based school day

An adult whose assignments follow named class periods, often across several rooms.

Each duty is tied to a named period (Period 1 is 8:05–8:55 AM), so times stay exact and overlap checks still work. A second bell schedule shows how an assembly day shifts the same periods.

  • A schedule structure: a regular bell schedule from 7:45 AM–3:10 PM, plus Assembly day.
  • Example duties, each marked Example in your draft until you review, change, or clear it.
  • Editable times to the exact minute; nothing is rounded to a half hour.
  • Print choice: Pocket cards. A pocket card listing period, room and role; print the assembly day separately when it is used. Every other print layout is available too.

What you change

  • Period names and their exact bell times
  • The room and role for each period
  • Which dates use the assembly schedule
  • Your lunch and break times, as your school sets them
  • Labels your school permits you to use for rooms, groups, and adults

What a starter is not

A starter is a schedule structure with fictional sample duties. It does not set staffing requirements, and it does not contain or create a student record.

Sample break times are placeholders. Use the break times your school sets; a starter does not describe anyone's break entitlement.
