Schedule
Bearden High School follows a 2-semester block schedule, with 4 core academic classes per day. We also include a shorter 45-minute academic period between 1st and 2nd block, called "45." It is listed in a student's Aspen schedule as "P1F."
School begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. Exceptions include KCS Half-Days (noon dismissal) and Bearden's Late Start Wednesdays. On Late Start Wednesdays, students should report directly to the Cafeteria or West Mall, and a silent study hall is offered in the Library. First block begins at 8:50 a.m., and students do not attend 45 on Late Start days. If KCS announces a 1 or 2-hour delay, late start/study hall Wednesday will be canceled.
