RE: School Start Times 2022-2023
Dear Gardner Public School Families,
We are very excited to be opening our new Gardner Elementary School this fall! At this time, we are still on time, and on budget. Students in PreKindergarten through grade four are expected to start school in our new building!
As I communicated earlier this year, after working closely with our bussing company, we have rearranged our start times. We have considered all options, and this schedule was developed considering many factors, including bussing logistics, the developmental ages of affected students, and before and after school activities to name a few. With this in mind, our new schedule starting in the fall 2022 will be:
| Gardner Elementary
(Grades PreK-4) | Gardner Middle
(Grades 5-7) | Gardner High
(Grades 8-12) | Gardner Academy
(Grades 9-12) |
| Doors Open | 8:30 a.m. | 7:00 a.m. | 7:30 a.m. | 7:35 a.m. |
| Start Time | 8:45 a.m. | 7:15 a.m. | 7:45 a.m. | 7:50 a.m. |
| Dismissal | 3:00 p.m. | 2:00 p.m. | 2:30 p.m. | 2:30 p.m. |
| Half Day Dismissal | 11:15 a.m. | 10:00 a.m. | 10:30 a.m. | 10:30 a.m. |
Thank you for your support and understanding as we consider a myriad of variables and our students, staff, and families to redesign our school start times. If you have any questions or concerns, please call my office at (978) 632-1000.
Sincerely,
Mark J. Pellegrino, Ed.D.
Superintendent
