Class Schedules
Understanding the School Day
At ETHS, students follow a rotating block schedule with a mix of class periods each day. This structure is designed to support deeper student learning, reduce the number of transitions in a day, and allow more time for hands-on activities, collaboration, and focused academic support. Students can access their class schedules by logging into myETHS.
Block Rotation
ETHS follows an 8-period rotating block schedule. Regular school days include Wildkit Mondays, Orange Days, and Blue Days:
- On Wildkit Mondays, students follow a shortened schedule and attend all 8 blocks, with each period lasting 33 minutes.
- On Orange and Blue Days, students attend up four classes per day, with each period lasting 85 minutes.

Understanding Your Class Schedule
Schedule Changes
Once course requests have been submitted, ETHS cannot make changes to a student's schedule, except in rare situations—such as a missing required course or level placement error.
ETHS builds the master schedule based on student course requests submitted during the course selection process. Once schedules are finalized, it’s not possible to accommodate requests for teacher changes, lunch period preferences, or elective swaps without affecting class sizes and course availability for all students.
If you believe there is an error in your schedule, contact your counselor directly for a review. Requests for teacher changes or lunch period changes are not accommodated.
Live Bell Schedule
Developed by an ETHS student, ETHSBell.app is a helpful website that displays the current bell schedule and countdowns for each class period. It’s an easy way to stay on track throughout the day—especially on days with a special bell schedule.
Students, you can also visit pe.ethsbell.app to find out where your PE class is meeting and whether you need to wear your PE uniform or bring your Chromebook.
