How to set up long breaks
Last updated: Jun 25, 2025
Scenario: Our third break is the lunch break and it’s longer than the others
Imagine a school day with 5 periods:
- 50 minutes per activity period
- 10 minutes per break by default
Initially, your school periods might look like this:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
08:00 - 08:50 | 09:00 - 09:50 | 10:00 - 10:50 | 11:00 - 11:50 | 12:00 - 12:50 |
To add a longer break after the third period (for example, for lunch), you can adjust the start times of the 4th and 5th periods.
After making the change, the schedule might look like this:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
08:00 - 08:50 | 09:00 - 09:50 | 10:00 - 10:50 | 11:20 - 12:10 | 12:20 - 13:10 |
This way, there's now a 30-minute lunch break after the third period.
