School Day
The school day consists of 7 periods ranging from 51 to 52 minutes with 3 to 5 minutes passing time allowed. Junior high students have a closed lunch period between 3rd and 4th hours while grades 9-12 enjoy an open lunch after 4th hour. The enrollment has been at a slow decline for the last few decades as the city of Virginia does the same, though recent reports from the district show that a few new teachers have been employed in the elementary, and that those grades have seen an increase in students in the last few years.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or day:
“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“The day after he’d met her, he told me about her. He said she was a cross-section of the American public.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
