Dear CCISD Families and Staff,
Thank you for your patience as we studied the possibility of changing bell schedules at selected schools to help us reduce students' time on the bus, as well as to maximize bus driver staffing.
As you may know, like districts nationwide, CCISD is experiencing a continued, critical shortage of bus drivers. On May 12, we shared a survey with staff and families who potentially would be affected by bell schedule changes. Thanks to the input from this survey, we made adjustments to better accommodate family and staff schedules as well as better manage bus routes.
Starting on the first day of school, Tuesday, Aug. 11, our schools will have the following bell schedules:
Early Childhood Development Center, Metro Elementary School of Design, Windsor Park Elementary School:
8:10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (20 minutes later)
All other elementary schools
7:50 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. (no change)
Middle schools (except Metro Prep)
8:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. (20 minutes earlier)
High schools (and Metro Prep)
8:50 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. (no change)
Students may enter the school 20 minutes before the bell. After-care and extracurricular schedules at schools affected by schedule changes will be revised as needed, with updates provided by the respective program leads.
