20-21 Bell Schedule
Lunches may change some days since we are on a rotating bell schedule. All lunches will be based on the lunch that the student's 4th block teacher has. During the first couple of weeks, 3rd-period teachers will review lunch schedules with all students prior to the end of their 3rd-period class, so all students know the correct lunch.
