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:
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“We construct a narrative for ourselves, and that’s the thread that we follow from one day to the next. People who disintegrate as personalities are the ones who lose that thread.”
—Paul Auster (b. 1947)
