Regular school hours and early dismissal

The district’s current School Schedules table was checked again November 13, 2026. It does not state a separate effective school year. Schedule A and Schedule B are different high school schedules, rather than two arrival options for the same student.

Six shortened school days

PreK–12 conference half days are November 23–24, 2026 and March 23–24, 2027. June 9 and the June 10 last student day also have early dismissal. Use the applicable dismissal time above for each date.

November 25 is a full student closure for conferences, followed by Thanksgiving holidays November 26–30. The November 23–25 conference period therefore needs two afternoon care arrangements and one full-day arrangement.

Newcomer, LCTI and LCCC exceptions

Elementary Newcomer students leave at 11:15 a.m. on early-dismissal days. The 11 a.m. Allen/Dieruff release includes Secondary Newcomer students. LCTI and LCCC students dismiss at 10:45 a.m., and there is no PM LCTI.

The late-start table says no AM LCTI and no LCCC transportation. Allen AM LCTI students start at 12:10 p.m.; Dieruff AM LCTI students start at 11:25 a.m. Bridgeview’s late-start note also says no AM LCTI. These program exceptions matter when arranging the trip to school, even if another child in the family follows the main schedule.
