Should I Continue Taking Apri Pill Even After Getting Period?

I have a teen, 15 yr. old female just started the pill "Apri" she has taken 2 weeks of the pills. She still has a week worth of regular pills then a week of placebo pills. She started her period yesterday, should she continue the regular "Apri" pills or the placebo pill.

Now she should take the active apri pill. This means that she should discard the older pack and start a new pack of pills.
