Balanced School Day

What is the Balanced School Day?

The balanced school day schedule breaks the instructional time into three 90-minute blocks, with two nutrition and activity breaks separating the blocks. Each nutrition/activity break consists of a 30-minute “eating” time followed by a 30-minute outdoor activity time. This replaces the two 15-minute recesses and the traditional 60-minute lunch hour.
