UPDATE (ENG) Start/End Times 24-25

District Administration has been working with our Transportation Department, a select group of teachers, and building leaders to identify a solution that minimizes impacts on the schedules for our families and staff while ensuring on-time bus routes. Several considerations are being made as to the impacts of new times. As a result, the final start and end times will now be shared in January. This topic will be brought to the Board’s January 8 meeting for discussion.

While we do anticipate changes to start and end times at each level, the biggest time change is likely to occur for our elementary families and staff. We know that start and end times at elementary schools will be a factor when determining family schedules for childcare needs. This is why we are continuing to partner with an organization to offer fee-for-service before and after-school services to our families. Those details will be shared after the final start and end times are communicated following the Board’s January 8 meeting.

I am sorry we are unable to provide you with final start and end schedules prior to winter break. We recognize families need time to plan for these changes, and our staff also need to be informed in a timely manner. Please know that we are making every effort to provide this information to you early in the New Year.

Sincerely,

Dr. Paul Gordon

Superintendent
