Schedule Change Ahead for 2020-2021 School Year

Schedule Change Ahead for 2020-2021 School Year

A new schedule will be implemented for the 2020-2021 school year. The updated schedule changes the elementary day to 7:45 AM - 2:30 PM, Tuesday through Friday, and has the middle and high schools starting approximately one hour later. Under the new schedule late start Mondays will continue. The purpose of this change is to address transportation safety and logistical challenges while increasing route efficiencies. Brain research supports later start times for older children resulting in academic gains in math and literacy.

The schedule was presented during the school board's June 9th regular meeting and will continue to be fine-tuned by District staffers. A finalized version will be made available later in June.
