jelknerth1a: I'm setting up the time table for the Arlington Mill Evening Program19:51
jelknerIt hasn't been smooth sailing yet19:51
jelknerI'm on my 3rd attempt19:51
jelknerIt is a bit of a convoluted schedule19:52
th1ahey jelkner20:07
replaceafilljelkner question, why are there 4 periods? i only see 3 different times20:08
jelknerBlock 2 meets Mondays and Wednesdays20:09
jelknerBlock 3 meets Tuesdays and Thursdays20:09
jelknerthey are completely separate.20:09
jelknerstudents can take either a Block 2 or Block 3 class (or two classes with both)20:09
th1aTimetables determine start and end times, not what happens in them.20:11
replaceafillhttp://69.164.203.135:6660/schoolyears/2008-2009/timetables/Timetable20:12
replaceafillmanager:schooltool20:12
jelknerth1a: really?20:12
replaceafillnot sure if that's what jelkner needs...20:12
jelknerIf you tell me that's ok, i'll just proceed20:13
jelknerbut i hope when i create a class20:13
th1aWhen you actually schedule sections you get a grid of days and periods.20:13
jelkner(or section)20:13
th1aAnd you select the ones you want.20:14
jelknerok20:14
jelknerbut we name them block 2 (mon - wed) and block 3 (tues- thu)20:14
jelkneri guess i can't do that20:14
jelknerthat will be confusing to teachers20:15
jelknersince the instructions we received on our back to school meeting specifically labeled the blocks that way20:15
jelknermaybe i just shouldn't name them at all20:15
th1a......20:16
th1ajelkner, I think you're tying yourself up in knots.20:16
th1aDo you have a picture of your timetable?20:16
jelkneri sent it to you by email20:17
th1akk20:17
th1aUh... I lost too much formatting.20:18

th1aI don't see why you say there are four periods.20:26
th1aThere are only three start times.20:26
* replaceafill had the same question20:26
jelkneri guess it depends on you think of "period"20:27
jelknerit's clear to me20:27
jelknerand the folks at the school where i work20:27
th1aOh, I see.20:27
