School Hours for 2026-27
Kindergarten
Kindergarten classes meet on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. There are no Kindergarten classes on Thursdays, except when the early dismissal day is moved to Friday prior to major holidays.
| Morning Groups: | 8:38-11:41 AM |
| Afternoon Groups: | 12:17-3:20 PM |
To ensure that Kindergarten students receive the required 475 hour of instruction, they will have full day field trips or full days at school on designated days throughout the school year.
| Friday, October 2, 2026 Friday, March 5, 2027 | Friday, April 9, 2027 Friday, May 7, 2027 | Friday, June 4, 2027 Friday, June 18, 2027 Friday, June 25, 2027 |
Unfortunately, noon hour transportation is not available for kindergarten students on field trip/full days, so morning students will have to be picked up at the end of the school day and afternoon students will have to be dropped off in the morning.
Instructional Time – Grades 1-9
Over the course of the year, we lose some instructional time on Mondays and Fridays due to long weekends or non-instructional days. To make up lost time and to ensure that we have consistent hours of instruction for all subject areas in Grades 1-9, we will run a Monday schedule on the following days.
