ISD 199 School Start/End Time Review Information Sessions
Published on Sep 23, 2016 12:15

The ISD 199 School Board has requested a team of community members and district staff to review school start/end times. This request is due to research conducted on the sleep patterns of teens and the impact on student achievement. There are two community meetings to provide information and talk about some options under consideration. Those able to attend will have the opportunity to provide input on the discussions. If you are unable to attend, an online survey will be available September 30.  

The information sessions will be held:

• Monday, October 3, at 6:00PM at Simley High School IMC (2920 80^th Street East)
• Thursday, October 6, at 6:00PM at Hilltop Elementary School Gymnasium (3201 68^th Street East)
