North Bend board approves switch from trimesters to semesters for middle and high schools
Summary
The North Bend School District board unanimously approved a move to a semester calendar for the district's middle and high schools beginning with the 2025-26 school year, citing alignment with other districts, additional instructional hours and streamlined scheduling.
The North Bend School District board unanimously approved a transition from a trimester schedule to a semester schedule for North Bend Middle School and North Bend High School beginning in the 2025-26 school year.
The district presented the change as a move toward alignment with most Oregon schools and a source of modest instructional gains. Superintendent Vin Swaggerty and district staff told the board the prototype calendar would add instructional hours (about 15 additional hours at the elementary-equivalent measure, seven at middle school and six at high school), reduce the number of grading days and make student-course transfers and state-required half-credit courses easier to manage.
