We are pleased to announce that Middle School will now begin at 8:30 a.m., rather than 8:45 a.m.
This adjustment will allow us to maximize valuable morning instructional time and create an even stronger start to each school day. We look forward to the many benefits this change will bring for our students and teachers.
