Starting Wednesday, August 17
The first late-start Wednesday for the 2022-2023 school year will be August 17. Students, staff, and faculty will start their normal school day at 8:35 a.m. instead of 7:50 a.m. This delayed start provides dedicated time for many more opportunities for professional development of faculty and staff, multi-grade level teacher collaboration, and parent, or student-led Bible studies. This model is a proven best-practice, enabling ongoing teacher training, which leads to higher student achievement across all levels. Please note that Chapel will be held on Tuesdays for grades K-12 so that instructional time will be maximized. Preschool Chapel will be held on Wednesdays.
Students may be dropped off during late-start Wednesday morning carpool from 8:15–8:35 a.m. The official school day will begin with the morning devotion and announcements at 8:35 a.m. Bus route pick-up times will remain the same every day. If needed, parents may drop off students at 7:00 a.m. at main office or preschool for morning study hall sessions or early care. Any students arriving on campus before 8:15 a.m. must report to the monitored early-care areas. Normal 7:50 a.m. start time will apply only on December 14 and May 24 due to testing. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!
