ParentLink Rollover
2018-2019 Bell Times
Most of you will soon be sending information home to parents and families via ParentLink, so we wanted to provide you with some talking points for new bell times. In addition to the points below, we encourage you to put your bell times on your marquee or a visible area as soon as you are able.
Why did bell times need to change?
- For most schools, start and end times are changing, based on the number one choices from a survey answered by 57,000 parents, students, staff, and community members.
- Bell times needed to change to correct a long-standing problem of 12,000 students being dropped off late to school every day because the school start times were too close together.
- The new times match guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics that high schools should start no earlier than 8:30 a.m.
In addition, we have been receiving calls about open houses and supply lists. On your school website, please update your bell times, open house information, and supply lists. For assistance updating your school website, please contact Leah Williamson at leah.williamson@sdhc.k12.fl.us.
