Early Dismissal / Delayed Opening Times

Good Evening, 

As we move further into the winter months, we wanted to communicate each level’s schedule start and/or end times in the event of an early dismissal or delayed opening.

	Delayed Opening	Early Dismissal
Pre-Kindergarten	No AM classes  PM group arrives at 12:45 If on Wednesday: Remote Learning	No PM classes AM Dismissal at 11:45 A.M.  If on Wednesday: Remote Learning
Elementary School	Full remote learning day beginning at 9 A.M.  Holland Hill begins at 8:10 A.M.	Dismissal at 1 P.M.  Holland Hill dismissal at 12:05 No PM classes after dismissal
Middle School	2 Hour Delay School begins at 10:10 A.M. If on Wednesday of a 5-day school week, school will dismiss at 2:50 pm	Dismissal at 12 P.M.
High School	2 Hour Delay  School begins at 9:30 A.M.  If on Wednesday of a 5-day school week, school will dismiss at 2:10 pm	Dismissal at 11 A.M.
Walter Fitzgerald Campus	School begins at 10:00 A.M.  If on Wednesday: Remote Learning	Dismissal at 12:25 P.M.  If on Wednesday: Remote Learning

 

Elementary schools (K-5) will observe a full remote learning day if a delayed opening is executed in the school district. Our elementary in-person schedule is from 9:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. A two hour delayed opening would significantly reduce the instructional day in our elementary schools. Moreover, extending the day later without a dedicated lunch session would not be appropriate for our learners. Students in our elementary school will follow the remote learning schedule as previously articulated by the building’s principal and teachers. Instruction will be a mix of synchronous and asynchronous work with the classroom teacher and any specialists throughout the day. The early dismissal schedule above does not apply to upcoming March conferences at the elementary level.

RLA schedules are not impacted by delayed openings or early dismissals and will follow their regular daily schedule.

Thank you for your time and patience. Please contact Dr. James Zavodjancik at JZavodjancik@fairfieldschools.org if you have any questions about the above schedules. 

Sincerely,

Dr. James Zavodjancik

Executive Director of Instruction, Curriculum, and Assessment
