I teach judo and BJJ.

My classes are just "gi/no-gi". One of each every night. One day we'll do newaza no-gi, tachi-waza gi; next night we'll invert it. Tachi-waza in the gi is focused on judo ruleset but we discuss jiu jitsu context as well. Tachi-waza in no-gi is a wrestling/judo hybrid focused on BJJ ruleset.

Newaza days are BJJ ruleset focused GI and no-gi, but we also review judo specific newaza from time to time.
