Modifying Elementary School Start/End Times

The Board of Education and Administration are considering changing to one start time for elementary schools in the 2020-21 school year (currently there are "early" and "late" schools). There are many reasons to do this that will increase effectiveness and efficiencies within our elementary programs.

We would like to know what our families think about this change. If you haven't already done so, please complete our brief survey on elementary start times. Thank you for your participation!
