Rotating Schedule
(6 Day Schedule)

This scheduling system provides greater flexibility in scheduling students and allows for continuity of the daily schedule over vacations and weekends. Rotating scheduling provides for six (6) days per cycle: the days are numbered 1 through 6, not the expected 5 days per week. Students are scheduled for Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6. Then, the schedule begins again at Day 1. Every day has the scheduled academic subject; it is the creative arts subjects that are in this rotating schedule (industrial arts, home economics, art, music, and health/physical education).

The student schedule indicates Day 1, Day 2, ... to Day 6. When a weekend or vacation occurs, the next day back to school will be the next day numerically on the rotation.  For example, if Friday is Day 4, then Monday will be Day 5.  Continuity and flexibility are enhanced by Stetson’s rotating schedule.  Students are reminded each day during morning announcements: “Today is Day__”
