Subject: Important Updates on School Hours for a Productive Academic Year Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope this letter finds you and your families in good health and high spirits. As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, I wanted to take a moment to inform you of some important updates regarding our school hours. Your partnership and support are crucial in ensuring a successful and productive educational experience for our students. 1. Regular School Hours: Our regular school hours will be from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday. We believe that a consistent daily routine is essential for maintaining an optimal learning environment and maximizing student engagement. The established timetable enables us to provide a structured curriculum and ample time for students to delve into core subjects, engage in extracurricular activities, and benefit from individualized attention from our dedicated teaching faculty. 2. Early Release Days: To facilitate staff professional development and collaboration, we have designated select Wednesdays as Early Release Days. On these days, school hours will conclude at 1:30 pm. This extra time allows our teachers to participate in ongoing training, curriculum planning, and student assessment analysis. It ultimately enhances their instructional strategies, enabling them to better cater to the diverse academic needs of our students. 3. Late Start Days: Additionally, we have introduced Late Start Days on the first Thursday of each month. This modified start time allows our teachers to engage in critical discussions and collaborate with colleagues to enhance student success. School will commence at 10:00 am on these days, granting sufficient time for faculty members to attend professional development sessions while ensuring student safety and consistent bus services. 4. Extended Day Program: For working parents who require additional care and supervision outside regular school hours, we are offering an Extended Day Program from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm every school day. This program provides a safe and structured environment, as well as opportunities for students to complete their homework, engage in enrichment activities, and build meaningful connections with peers. Registration details, including fees and specific program features, will be shared in the upcoming weeks. 5. Bus Schedule Adjustments: To align with the updated school hours, please anticipate minor adjustments to the bus schedule. Our transportation team is working diligently to ensure a seamless transition and timely arrival of buses both in the morning and afternoon. A separate communication will be shared with you to provide all the necessary details regarding route timings and any alterations to bus stops. We understand that these adjustments may require some modifications in your daily routine. However, we firmly believe that these changes will significantly benefit our students' education and overall development. By providing our teachers with essential professional growth opportunities and fostering an extended day program, we aim to create an enriched learning ecosystem within our school community. Please feel free to reach out to the school administration or our dedicated parent liaison if you have any questions or concerns. We value your inputs and appreciate your support as we embark upon this exciting journey together. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to your child's education and our school's vision. Together, let us inspire our students to achieve greatness and empower them to create a brighter future. Yours sincerely, [Principal's Name] [School Name] [Contact Information]
