School days follow a rotating schedule that is determined by the following rules:

• Before classes begin, there is an "advisory period" or "period 0" (except on block days).
• The first class of the day is determined by the day of the week. On Monday, the first class is period 1. On Tuesday, the first class is period 2 and so on.
• Classes after the first period of the day are consecutively numbered periods. After period 6, the count is reset to one.
• On Wednesday, there are only classes with odd numbered periods and classes are twice as long. (This is known as a "block day")
• On Thursday, there are only classes with even numbered periods and classes are also twice as long.
• Lunch is determined by the student's fourth period. If the class is in the 100's or 200's class rooms, then he/she goes to the second lunch. If the class is in the 300's classrooms or Gym, then he/she goes to the second lunch. If a student is not presently going to lunch, first he/she is to report to advisory period for ssr.
• On block days, advisory period is after a student's second class of the day or lunch.
• On block days, which lunch a student goes to is determined by the location of their advisory period. If a student is not presently going to lunch, then he/she is to report to advisory period.
