Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) is working to better support high school students in the aftermath of COVID-19. One area of focus is implementing an aligned schedule at all SPPS high schools.

Alignment of our high school schedules allows for:

• Improved systems for consistent experiences for student mobility/transferring schools

• Consistent number of credits required for graduation

• More effective district-wide support from departments

• Supports SPPS Achieves and Career Pathways

The A/B block schedule (8/2) allows for:

• Increased course opportunities for students

• District-wide online courses offered to all students during first hour (1A and 1B)

• Students will have four classes each day - fewer transitions daily

• Classes of approximately 80 minutes give more time for learning and using culturally responsive teaching practices

• An advisory class which supports students' social emotional learning (SEL)
