Late Start Every Friday: this is an initiative to provide more quality time for our teachers to collaborate on professional development. On these days, teachers arrive early and classes start 45 minutes late, allowing our Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) an hour and a quarter each time to accomplish their objectives.
While the school day will begin at 9am, here are some provisions we are making:
- Those parents who pay for before-school care may drop their children off at the normal time of 7:00–7:50 a.m. Mrs. Schlaman will provide her regular level of supervision for them.
- Those parents who cannot postpone dropping off until the late-start time (due to work schedules) may drop off their children anytime after 7:50 a.m. Elementary and secondary students will be supervised in two different areas for the next 55 minutes.
- Those parents who are able to wait should drop off their children around 8:45. Secondary students who drive should likewise plan to arrive at that time.
- The regular school day will be from 9:00 am–12:00 pm for our half-day students, 9:00 am–3:10 pm for Elementary, and 9:00 am–3:20 pm for Secondary. On half days, the school day will be from 9:00 am–12:00 pm for all grades.
We have assigned some of our non-teaching staff to help with supervision. However, it would be a BIG help to us to have one or two parents volunteer to keep an eye on elementary students between 8:00 and 8:45. If you are willing to help, please contact our office by phone (847-548-6209) or email.
