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 first lunch. If the 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, then he/she is to report to advisory period.
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, thjkjh,kjhjhen he/she is to report to advisory period.
