School Start Time Update!
Due to safety reasons, more daylight and for our students to get just a bit more rest. Our doors will not open until 7:10a for student drop off. This is the same for busses as well, as they will not be dropping off students until 7:10a.
This has changed only by 10 minutes since last year and the update we sent earlier in the month. Sorry for any confusion!
Please also note that school starts at 7:50a & ends at 2:55p
