Beginning Monday, April 23 there will be 10 minutes added to the beginning of the school day at the elementary schools. Bus pickup and drop off times will not change. The instructional minutes will be added to the beginning of the school day due to existing transportation schedules. Additionally, the District is eliminating the grade K-4 early release May 18.
