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:
“Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“... the whole day to live through,
steadfast, deep, interior.
After the death,
after the black of black,
this lightness
not to die, not die....”
