Schedule
Piedmont High School runs on a block schedule, with seven periods offered but four blocks a day. The schedule of classes changes every day.
| day | periods |
|---|---|
| A | 1, 3, 5, 7 |
| B | 2, 4, 6, 7 |
| C | 1, 3, 5, 6 |
| D | 2, 4, 5, 7 |
| E | 1, 3, 4, 6 |
| F | 2, 3, 5, 7 |
| G | 1, 2, 4, 6 |
On days A through E, school starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 3:05 p.m. Regular teacher meetings are scheduled for F days, which end at 2:25 p.m., and G days offer a "tutorial" period for students to receive help from their teachers or make up tests; school ends at 2:05 p.m.
There are ten-minute breaks between each block for students to get to their next class. In addition, a 15-minute "brunch" — much like an elementary-school recess — is offered between block I and II, and a 35-minute lunch is offered between blocks III and IV.
During breaks, students can buy snacks and lunch from Food Service, a school-run distributor of food. Food service is located within the Student Center building.
The school has an open campus, and students can leave during lunch with no penalty, as long as they return in time for their next class.
