School Days - Late Start
School Days - Late Start
A number of “shortened” school days are scheduled each year to allow time for teacher training and planning. On these days, Jensen, Karen Acres, Valerius, and Webster will start at 10:00 a.m.,with Rolling Green and Olmsted starting at 10:10 a.m. They will then dismiss at their regular times. This is a good time to plan to take care of family needs. These dates are noted on the calendar. Plan now to use these free hours to take care of some of your student’s out-of-school needs (medical & dental appointments). Information regarding late start times will be provided by each school. It is also available on our website at www.urbandaleschools.com.
