2008-2009 School Start Times Changed
 
School Start Times Changed
MNPS has announced new start times for almost all of the district’s middle and high schools. The start times will take effect August 11, 2008, the first official day of the 2008-09 school year. Elementary school start times will remain the same as last school year, with the school day beginning at 8 a.m. However, almost all middle and high schools will have new start times, with accommodating bus routes. For the 2008-2009 school year, most middle schools will begin 10 minutes later than previous school years at 8:55 a.m., while most high schools will start 10 minutes earlier than previous school years at 7:05 a.m. Magnet schools, which do not receive bus transportation, are unaffected by the changes. The district believes these varied start times will assist drivers as they navigate through the heaviest parts of the morning rush hour and get students to school on time.
