2008-2009 Bell Schedule

West Seattle High School will run two schedules for next school year 2008-09. First semester will be a 6-period rolling schedule with six 55 minute classes on Monday and Friday, and four 85-minute classes Tuesday through Thursday. Second semester will be 6 straight 55-minute classes Monday through Friday. We have determined to run two separate schedules next year to gather authentic and experiential feedback from our staff and students. Our aim is to determine the best schedule for West Seattle High School students, staff members, and program offerings as we transition to a 6-period structure. Start and end times for the school day are being voted on this spring, and we will release final bell schedules by the end of the year.

The West Seattle High School staff has done a wonderful job of determining the textbook, equipment, curriculum materials, and classroom supplies needed to make the transition to a 6-period day within each of their departments. District officials are currently processing our requests and supporting our transitional needs.

Recently, student registrations were collected, and currently our counselors are meeting with students to confirm interest and accuracy with student choice, and our registrar is compiling the data and aligning it with our course offerings. A final master schedule will be released later this spring.
