Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you about some upcoming changes to the Wynne School District schedule for the 2024-2025 school year. This adjustment is designed to support our teachers' ongoing collaboration in the Professional Learning Community (PLC) process. PLCs allow teachers to work together to improve their teaching skills and, in turn, enhance the academic performance of their students. This process promotes sharing best practices and reinforces our commitment to providing academic excellence.
To give our teachers dedicated time for PLC activities, we are introducing a Late Start policy on Mondays throughout the school year. This will allow our staff to meet, plan, and discuss strategies to improve instructional methods and practices. As a result, instruction time for students will begin at 9 AM on Mondays, giving teachers ample time to collaborate.
Here are some additional details to help you plan for this change:
Buses: Buses will run as normal for those needing transportation. Bus pickup times will remain the same. Students arriving by bus will be supervised by staff until classes begin at 9 AM.
Car Riders: Drop-off time will remain the same. If needed, you can drop off your children before 9 AM, as staff will be available to monitor students.
Additionally, we will adjust our regular school start and end times:
School Start Time: 7:55 AM
School End Time: 3:20 PM
We understand that schedule changes can affect family routines, and we appreciate your understanding and support. If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to contact your school's administrative office.
We look forward to a successful school year ahead.
