New School Start Times to Begin this School Year

First Day of School

Tuesday, September 5th

WMS/BHS - 8:00 am to 2:45 pm 

(WMS students and BHS students will NOT ride the bus together)

CLES - 8:50 am to 3:35 pm 

In the summer of 2019 the Board,administration and faculty, along with multiple stakeholders, initiated work for over a year to study the research regarding adolescent sleep needs in order to determine whether a change to our traditional start times was necessary. Available research was reviewed, stakeholders were surveyed (students, parents, staff) and potential impacts were analyzed.

The Result:
The Healthy School Start Times BOE subcommittee recommended a change in school start times across the district.

- Our High School students will gain 45 minutes of sleep by starting their day later  

-  WMS and CLES will have minor adjustments to its start times. 

-  After school activities & athletics.are minimally changed so as not to cause disruption  

All of the information is included in the link below, which includes a PowerPoint presentation provided to the Board of Education in June 2020.
