How to make it more native-like no. 38: schedule

Good morning to you all,

I have a question regarding the following situation:

Due to the fact that there's been a holiday all teachers are kindly requested to come to work on Sunday.

Now, one of the teachers wants to ask about the Sunday's schedule. Should he say:

a) What schedule are we going to follow this Sunday?
b) What timetable are we going to follow this Sunday?
c) What's the schedule for this Sunday?
d) What's the timetable for this Sunday?
e) Which day's schedule are we going to follow this Sunday?

If there's a better option, please let me know.

Thanks a million, as always.

Perfect Stranger one of the teachers wants to ask about the Sunday's schedule I'd say he can say a), c), or e). A timetable is more appropriately used for trains than for classrooms, I'd say. CJ
