Bernice Ayer Middle School : Schedule

Instructional Minutes

To provide every student access to a rigorous curriculum that addresses all learning modalities, Bernice Ayer Middle School operates a modified block schedule. Class periods are inverted on block days so that all classes falling during prime instructional hours for a portion of the week. Longer blocks of time provide extended learning opportunities for students to engage in projects, such as simulations and science labs that allow students to apply state standards to hands-on learning experiences.

To address diverse students' needs, we implemented an Educational Support Period (ESP) on the six-period days, during which students organize themselves for homework, study for tests, and begin their homework for the evening. Resource teachers, instructional aides and parent volunteers provide additional support to students during ESP.

Approximately125 students attend zero period in order to add a second elective to their schedule of classes. On Tuesdays, school begins one hour later to provide time for teacher collaboration, known as ACE. During ACE time, students have the option of coming to school later or attending a variety of classes and activities provided through our partnerships with the City of San Clemente and Capistrano Unified School District 's community education department.
