School Day
School begins at 7:20 am and students are released at 8:15 pm Monday through Friday. A normal school day consists of 7 class periods with a 25 minute lunch period and 25 minute “access” or study hall period. During junior or senior year, students have the option to take classes at the Technology Center of Du Page (TCD) as an alternative to the first 4 class periods. There are 6 different lunch periods starting at 10:20 and ending at 12:33. You must stay on campus for lunch however there is a courtyard for juniors and seniors to eat outside if they choose. Students can bring their own lunch however the school also provides a lunch service as well.
The Library Learning Center is open daily for students and staff from 6:30 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. Students may visit the school's 31 online databases or peruse the 29,000 books for information. Students may visit the LLC to print, relax, research, study and collaborate before and after school, at lunch, or during study hall. Mrs. Piggoni is the school's library media specialist.
About every other Wednesday, the school has "Late Start" days where the teachers get together early in the morning to talk about things and the kids get to sleep in a bit longer. However, the buses still come and go at the same time.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or day:
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But I was thinking of a way
To feed oneself on batter,
And so go on from day to day
Getting a little fatter.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
