Start Time Change for Elementary and Middle Schools

Elementary Start Time Change

Starting in the 2019-20 school year, all elementary schools will start the school day at 8:05 am and end at 2:30 pm.

Details about the elementary schedule are below.

Buses
All buses will arrive at elementary schools no earlier than 7:30 am and no later than 7:50 am. We are committed to having all students at school with ample time to eat breakfast and arrive in class by 8:05 am. This change will assist in scheduling buses and increase on-time school arrivals for middle school students

Breakfast
Breakfast will be available for students in the cafeteria/gym each morning at 7:30 am until the tardy bell rings at 8:05 am. Once the tardy bell rings, front office staff will have breakfast to go available to make sure that every student has a meal and does not miss classroom instruction time.

The morning start time change will facilitate all classes starting the day together in a morning meeting and ensures that the instructional day is consistent for all elementary students in the Corvallis School District. There is no change to the Franklin School daily schedule.

Middle School Start Time Change

Starting in the 2019-20 school year, all CSD middle schools will follow the same before school hours, school start time, and end of day release time.  Unless there is a weather delay, school starts the same time each day.

School will start at 9:00 am and end at 3:40 Monday-Thursday and at 2:40 pm most Fridays with a 2-hour early release occurring once per quarter.

Students attend all 7 periods Monday-Wednesday, attend periods 1, 3, Advisor, 5 and 7 (odd) on Thursday, and attend periods 2, 4, Advisor and 6 (even) on Fridays.  Advisor periods only meet on Thursdays and Fridays.  Details about the middle school schedule are shared below. No change for Franklin School.
