The approved start and end times of the school day in the 2021-2022 school year are now known following a vote by the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board on Wednesday.
Elementary students will begin their day at 7:40 a.m., intermediate/junior high students will begin at 9:15 a.m., and high school students will start at 8:30 a.m. The changes were made to accommodate the bus scheduling system, which helps in the budgeting for the coming school year.
The board was presented with new scheduling proposals for both high schools and two junior highs.

Only two junior high school buildings are proposing new schedules for the coming school year: Fall Creek and HSE Intermediate/Junior High. You may those tentative schedules at this link.
Administrators are also proposing Targeted Learning Time, replacing Smart Periods, as a way to address learning loss. For more on that proposal, click here. Note: The reference to SEEL stands for Social Emotional Equity Learning.
The board voted unanimously to allow students to keep their issued electronic devices this summer without an extra rental fee with the need for summer remediation programs.
The board gave final approval to the school calendars for the next two school years.
