Hampton High School is changing its daily schedule to a 3, 2 flex model. It includes a traditional 42-minute, eight-period day for three days a week and an 80-minute, four-period day schedule on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The 3, 2, flex scheduling also will allow for 75-minute “Lunch and Learn” periods, offering students the choice to use the time for lunch, tutoring, make-up quizzes and tests, enrichment activities, club meetings and other opportunities.
The schedule also supports senior release time and students attending the A.W. Beattie Career Center.
