Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope this message finds you all in good health and spirits. I am writing to inform you about an upcoming change that will positively impact our school community and enhance the learning environment at [School Name]. As the Principal, it is my duty to ensure we provide the best education and support for our students. I am pleased to announce that after careful consideration and close collaboration with our dedicated staff, we have decided to implement revised school hours, effective [insert date]. The decision to modify our schedule is driven by research on optimal learning times, feedback from parents and teachers, and aligning with national best practices. The revised school hours are as follows: 1. Elementary School: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM — 2:45 PM 2. Middle School: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8:30 AM — 3:15 PM Wednesday: 8:30 A— - 1:00 PM (Early Dismissal for Teacher Professional Development) 3. High School: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8:15 AM — 3:45 PM Wednesday: 8:15 A— - 1:30 PM (Early Dismissal for Teacher Professional Development) We understand that adjusting to new school hours may require some logistical adjustments for families. However, please be assured that this change has been made with careful consideration for the well-being and academic success of our students. Research consistently indicates that students benefit from being well-rested and starting the day with a nutritious breakfast. By shifting our start times to a later hour, we aim to align with teenagers' sleep patterns and promote better physical and mental health. These new hours will allow our students to obtain sufficient rest while maintaining a balance between academic demands and extracurricular activities. We believe this alteration will lead to improved attendance, higher student engagement, and increased academic achievement among our students. It will also provide valuable time for our dedicated teachers to engage in ongoing professional development and collaborate on enhancing instructional strategies. They will utilize this time to develop innovative approaches that will continuously enrich the learning experience. We recognize that each family's circumstances may differ, and we want to ensure we provide appropriate resources and support. Should you have concerns or require assistance regarding transportation, before- or after-school care, or any other matters, please get in touch with our dedicated administrative team? We are here to help! Please note that these new school hours will go into effect from [insert date]. We kindly request you to make the necessary adjustments to your schedules and transportation arrangements to ensure your child arrives promptly and can benefit from the full school day. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we strive to provide the best education experience for our students. Our commitment to their success is unwavering, and we look forward to the positive impact these revised school hours will have on their academic journey. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our school office. Your feedback is vital, and we value your partnership in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for every student. Warm regards, [Principal's Name] Principal, [School Name]
