Subject: Important Announcement About Revised School Hours in Hawaii Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits. We would like to take this opportunity to inform you about an upcoming change regarding the school hours at [School Name]. We are excited to announce a revised school schedule that will be implemented starting from the next academic year in order to enhance the learning experience and accommodate various factors affecting our students' education. The new school hours will ensure a productive and well-balanced day for our students, promoting their overall well-being and academic success. [School Name] has always strived to provide the best educational environment for our students, enabling them to reach their full potential. The decision to revise the school hours was made after careful consideration and consultation with educational experts, observing best practices around the world, and assessing the unique needs of our school community. The new school hours will be as follows: 1. Early Elementary Division (Kindergarten to 2nd Grade): Monday to Friday: 8:00 am to 2:00 pm 2. Upper Elementary Division (3rd Grade to 5th Grade): Monday to Friday: 8:00 am to 2:30 pm 3. Middle School Division (6th Grade to 8th Grade): Monday to Friday: 7:30 am to 2:45 pm 4. High School Division (9th Grade to 12th Grade): Monday to Friday: 7:30 am to 3:00 pm These revised hours have been carefully designed to better align with the cognitive and physical development needs of each age group. By starting the day earlier for our middle and high school students, we aim to address their need for more time to focus on complex subjects and allow for a more relaxed pace throughout the day. Similarly, our younger students will benefit from a slightly shorter day, enabling them to maintain their energy and engagement during important learning activities. We understand that any changes in school hours may have an impact on your daily routines and schedules. To help you plan accordingly, we wanted to provide this early notification, so you can make any necessary arrangements to ensure your child's punctuality and preparedness for school. We urge you to review the new school hours and kindly adjust your family’s daily routine accordingly. We believe that your support and cooperation in ensuring your child's attendance and punctuality will greatly contribute to their academic progress and success. In the coming weeks, we will provide further information and reminders regarding bus schedules, before and after-school programs, as well as extracurricular activities. Additionally, parents who require information on before-school care options or after-school supervision may reach out to the school office for assistance. Thank you for your continuous support, understanding, and cooperation as we strive to provide the best education for your children. We are confident that the revised school hours will positively impact their learning experience and contribute to their growth. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to working together for the benefit of our students. Warm regards, [Principal's Name] [School Name]
