Dear Parents, I hope this letter finds you well. As the principal of Lima Arizona School, I wanted to take a moment to update you on some important changes regarding our school hours. Effective from the upcoming academic year, we have carefully reviewed and made adjustments to our school hours to better accommodate the needs of our students and staff, ensuring a more efficient and productive learning environment. We have taken into consideration various factors such as transportation, extracurricular activities, and the overall well-being of our students. Starting from [Date], our new school hours will be as follows: 1. Elementary School: — School begins at 8:00 am and ends at 2:30 pm, Monday through Friday. — The morning bus schedule will be adjusted accordingly to ensure timely arrival. — The after-school program will be available from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm for working parents who require extended supervision for their children. 2. Middle School: — School commences at 8:15 am and dismisses at 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday. — The revised bus schedule will be shared with you shortly. — The after-school program will be offered from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm to provide an option for those unable to pick up their children right after school. 3. High School: — Classes will start at 8:30 am and conclude at 3:15 pm, Monday through Friday. — Students who rely on bus transportation will receive information about the adjusted bus routes and pick-up/drop-off times in the coming weeks. — We understand the need for flexibility, so we will provide an after-school study hall until 5:30 pm for students who want to utilize the additional time for academic support or extracurricular activities. These revised school hours are designed to enhance the educational experience for our students and facilitate more efficient operations for our school community. We believe that this change will allow for better student engagement, improved attendance, and a healthier work-life balance for staff. We kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that your child arrives punctually at school with ample time to settle down before the start of classes. Additionally, please make the necessary arrangements to pick up your child on time at the end of the school day or enroll them in the after-school program if needed. Should you have any concerns, questions, or need clarification regarding the new school hours, please do not hesitate to contact the school office at [Phone Number] or email us at [Email Address]. We value your feedback and involvement in our school community. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. We look forward to an exciting and successful academic year. Yours sincerely, [Principal's Name] Principal, Lima Arizona School.
