School Hours
It's important to start the day off right! Our students should plan to arrive at least five minutes prior to the start of the school day so they have enough time to put their personal belongings away and be prepared for the day.
Ongoing and robust professional development opportunities are important so that our educators can meet the diverse learning needs of our students. Throughout the year, School Improvement Half-Days are held to expand learning and growth for our team. On these days, students are dismissed after a half-day of attendance.
School Improvement Half-Days for the 2024-2025 school year are as follows: November 13, December 4, February 5, March 5, April 9, and May 7.
There are also two full-day School Improvement Days planned (September 18 and January 6) and there will be no school for students on those days.
