A '''Prep''' period is a period where no class is being taken, for both students and teachers. It generally does not refer to [[zero period]] and [[period 8]] when they are not being taken.

== Obtaining a prep ==
There are 3 ways to obtain a prep:

=== Taking classes outside the 1-7 range ===
By registering for a course during zero period or period 8, a prep is automatically placed during periods 1-7 for the duration of that course. Additionally, each [[semester]] in [[Kickstarter]] results in a single-semester prep during the following [[school year]].

=== Athletics ===
Students who participate in [[athletics]] do not need to attend [[PE]], provided that they fill out the proper forms. This is not a full prep, as they must return to PE the day after their final game.

=== Signing up for the "Prep" course ===
Students may also take fewer than 7 classes by explicitly requesting the course called "Prep." Each grade has its own minimum number of classes, which excludes preps.
