2. Read Your Schedule

Your schedule in PowerSchool will tell you what classes you have and when they occur during the school year. Pay attention to the "Exp" column. There are two important things to look for; the number (period) and the letter. 

  • Physical Education and Science classes at Dana rotate. "A" classes meet during the first or second quarter. "B" classes will meet during the third or fourth quarter.
