After much thought, I have decided to end the schoolday at 3:00 / 3:10 each day. This additional hour on Wedensdays will be used to provide instruction and support to our students in many important ways including remedial math for middle school and additional PE for first and second graders.
Early release played an important role in forming the school but now that we are at near capacity, I believe it is something I have a responsibility to end. I did not feel that it served the many students who did not have afterschool opportunities and remained at school unsupervised.
If you have already arranged for lessons or medical appointments at this time, you of course can keep them. If you have young children and feel that they need quiet time with your family, please talk to your child's teacher about arranging this.
I apologize for the timing but trust the good result will be of value to those who need it most.
