[quote=Anonymous]DC is able to come in a few minutes late on days where they have a free first period, but students are expected to be on campus even if they have a free first or last (except for seniors when off-campus privileges kick in).

The free periods in the block schedule are vital to DC getting homework done because play rehearsals go until 6 or later (much later once tech week hits). If there happens to be no homework (or it’s under control and DC just needs a brain break), the kids hang out and chat or do puzzles in the library. And because the vast majority of students have to be at school at 3:30 for sports, theater, or robotics, going home with a last period free would just be wasting time commuting anyway.

As far as whether teachers are available during free periods, that depends on individual schedules in any given semester. Some of DC’s teachers have a class during DC’s frees. Some are available. But there is a block of time at the end of every day with no classes specifically so that teachers are always available to meet, and they can also meet during lunch or club times. [/quote]
