What are Late Start Days?

Late Start Days, previously known as Power Mondays, result in a 45-minute late start for one day per week (a few weeks will be excluded because of vacation periods) for approximately 24 weeks during the school year.

All district middle and high schools, except Hillsboro School grades 6-8, will be required to add seven extra minutes each day to implement the late start schedule.

During this time, faculty and staff participate in Professional Learning sharing expertise and working together to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students.
