Change in the School Calendar

Details: Category: District News; Published on Monday, 02 March 2015 19:17

On Monday, March 2, the Margaretta Board of Education approved a modification to the 2014-2015 school calendar.

Effective Monday, March 9, 2015, the school day will be lengthened by 30 minutes for the rest of the school year in lieu of the 4 days that we planned to make up in June. This action was completed due to the unusual number of days that school has been closed for weather-related reasons. This will allow our students to be in school now, during the time that instruction is most important.

Additionally, if there are more days cancelled, some days will be made up in June.

At Margaretta Middle/High School, 5 minutes have been added to periods 1-4 and 10-11. School will be in session from 7:59 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Click the link for the New Bell Schedule and the New 2-hour Delay Schedule.

At Margaretta Elementary, students will be given additional intervention time at the end of each day to focus on state standards they may have missed due to calamity days. The new elementary schedule will be:

Preschool A.M. 9:00 a.m. - 11:45 p.m.

Preschool P.M. 1:15 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Kindergarten – Grade 5: 8:04 a.m. - 3:10 p.m.

Gr. 3 After School Program 3:10 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

If you pick up your elementary child, they will be dismissed at 3:10 p.m.

If your child rides a school bus, the only change will be that afternoon drop off times will be 30 minutes later. For example, a student that was normally dropped off at 3:15 p.m. will now be released from the bus at approximately 3:45 p.m.

Bus #11 / #22 Preschool Mid-Day Route: morning drop offs and afternoon pick up times will be adjusted by 15-20 minutes.

Bus #11 Preschool Afternoon Drop Off: release times will be 45 minutes later due to the afternoon preschool class releasing at 4:00 p.m.

3rd Grade Tuesday/ Thursday Run: students who are currently enrolled in the after-school program will be released 30 minutes later due to the program being extended to 4:30 p.m.

All other routes will remain on the same schedule. Please note times are approximate.

If you have any questions, please call the Board office, High School office or Elementary office on Tuesday.
