School Days - Late Start (K-8)
A
number of “shortened” school days are scheduled each year to allow time
for teacher training and planning. On these days, all elementary
schools will start at 10:00 a.m., with the middle school starting at
9:35 a.m. They will then dismiss at their regular times. AM
Kindergarten will be from 10:00 a.m. – Noon, while PM Kindergarten will
be from 1:35 p.m. – 3:35 p.m. 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.
