Wednesday, December 12 - 2 Hour Late Start
Once again, USC teaching staff will be working in Professional Learning Communities. This time is used to analyze data, research best practices, and engage in group planning to improve student achievement. On Wednesday, Dec. 12 school will begin two hours late. It will start at 10:20 A.M. and breakfast for students will not be served at school.
We realize this can be difficult for some parents to find supervision for their children on these late start days. In order to help with this, elementary students in grades K-6 will be allowed to come to school from 8:20 – 10:20 A.M. and be supervised by staff. During this time they will be viewing a movie in the elementary music room. Students should report directly to the music room. Students must be here by 8:20 A.M. in order to be supervised, and they will not be allowed to leave the building once they get here. Students coming to school to be supervised from 8:20 – 10:20 A.M. will need to be transported because buses will only be running on the two hour late schedule.
