LATE START WEDNESDAYS
We will begin “Late Start Wednesdays” for the 2023-2024 school year beginning August 16, 2023. On those days, school will begin at 8:30 am in both buildings. This means that the buses will run 30 minutes later on Wednesday mornings. We will release at our normally scheduled time of 3:05 pm.
Two-Hour Delay Protocol - In the event of a 2-hour delay on a Wednesday, “Late Start Wednesday” will be canceled.
PM E-Learning Day on Wednesday Protocol - “Late Start Wednesday” will NOT take place in conjunction with our already scheduled Wednesday PM E-Learning Days (August, 23, February 7, April 10). The school will run on time those days and release at 11:40 am.
