May 11, 2026 – Beginning in the 2026–27 school year, standard high school hours will shift slightly to 7:10 a.m. – 2:05 p.m. This is a small adjustment from the current standard bell times for high schools: 7:15 a.m. – 1:45 p.m.
The adjustment was approved by the School Board during its regular meeting this month and reflects stakeholder feedback gathered as the district works to comply with recent state law.
Exceptions
As is the case each year, some schools will have exceptions, as not all schools follow standard bell times. The highlighted schools below will follow different hours than the standard schedule.
