WHAT IS CLIPPER TIME?

• 33 minutes of flexible time every day used for extra help, intervention, support, enrichment, or extension
  • Most Mondays = “Mentor Mondays.”  Students will meet with an assigned staff member to determine their schedule for the rest of the week
  • Tuesday-Friday, students will report to their assigned locations, which may be different each day, for intervention and enrichment
• We’ve shortened each period by 6 minutes and put a 33 minute Clipper Time Block between periods 3 and 4.
• Clipper Time is academic time.  Clipper Time is not a study hall or an advisory.  It is student-driven, targeted, and academic.
