<p>We have nine periods a day, with 3 lunches. Each period is 40 minutes long. We would probably have less, but in NJ we're forced to take PE. Also, the Board of Education has elective requirements too; At least 6 electives throuout highschool, in at least two of the three areas of Art, Music, or Business. I love the scheduling system, hate the elective requirements. (Buisness Math counts as an elective, but not Creative Writing?!)</p>
