[edit] School Days
At Lorbeer Middle School, the schedule changes every day. Periods 1-6 are rotated every day to implement variety into the week. On Monday, the schedule is normal, 1-6, but on Tuesday the schedule changes to 2,3,4,5,6,and then 1. Wednesdays and Thursdays are considered block periods, which means that you only have three classes a day, but they are twice as long. On Wednesday, you go through odd number periods, (3,5,and then 1). On Thursday, they are even numbered classes (4,6, and then 2). On block periods, advisory is after the second period of the day, you either go to lunch or advisory after the second class, this all depends on the location of your advisory, (portables is second lunch, so you go to advisory first). On Fridays, the schedule changes to 5,6,1,2,3,and then 4, this is because the numbered day of the week is the period you go to, Monday is the first day of the week, so you go to period one. Friday is the fifth day of the week, so you must go to 5th period first.
[edit] Lunch
Lunch at Lorbeer Middle school consists of two separate lunches, First and Second Lunch. This all depends on the class you have, on Monday, you either go to lunch before or after fourth period. You are able to go to first lunch if you have classes in the Building. However, if you have P.E. or a class in the portables for fourth period, you go after fourth period to second lunch. Every year, they switch building and portables' lunch agenda, such as next year , 1st lunch will be for portables and vice versa.
