WALLINGFORD – The school system has made significant changes to elementary, middle and high school start and end times as a result of a recent transportation study.
Four additional busses have been added to the middle school level to address a longstanding problem that consultants say caused long wait times for students.
According to officials at Durham School Services, which is contracted to provide buss services for the district, the change in bell times of middle and high schools would have been necessary with or without elementary school reconfiguration.
The new 2010-11 bell schedule is as follows:
High School
Start: 7:30 a.m. – End: 1:55 p.m.
Middle School
Start: 8 a.m. – End: 2:25 p.m.
Elementary School K-2 (Highland, Cook Hill, E.C. Stevens, Moses Y. Beach)
Start: 9:10 a.m. – End: 3:35 p.m.
Elementary School 3-5 (Yalesville, Parker Farms, Pond Hill, Rock Hill)
Start: 8:55 p.m. – End: 3:20 p.m.
