The 2017-18 School Starting and Ending Times are changing. We know time changes affect everyone so we are communicating this at the earliest possible opportunity.
Late starts will be held every Monday with bus pick up and school start times beginning 1 hour and 10 minutes later, allowing teachers in the same feeder school structure to meet together to improve instruction and learning for students. Data from this year show that there are less tardies and higher attendance on Mondays, so this schedule will remain in place for 2017-18.
