new school start times for 24/25

The JPS Instructional Calendar Committee emphasized the importance of ending the school year before Memorial Day. To achieve this goal, the calendars for the next two years have been shortened by six (6) instructional days. The school day has been lengthened by 15 minutes to make up the instructional time. School start times will be 10 minutes earlier and school end times will be 5 minutes later starting in the 2024-25 school year.

The first day of school for the 2024-25 school year is Thursday, August 15.

Here are the school start times beginning in August 2024:


Intermediate | 7:35 a.m.-2:30 p.m.

PreK | 7:55 a.m.-2:55 p.m.

Elementary | 8:20 a.m.-3:15 p.m.

Secondary | 9:05 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
