2024-2025 School Year
Important Calendar Reminder!
This school year the district is moving to early dismissal on Fridays instead of half-day School Improvement Planning (SIP) Days once a month.
New Friday Early Dismissal Schedule:
Primary - 12:40 p.m.
Elem 1:00 p.m.
Middle School 1:45 p.m.
Intermediate 2:30 p.m.
Champions and Gurnee Park District are offering flexible childcare options to help with coverage for Early Dismissal Fridays! Visit the Community Partners page to learn more.
School | Beginning of Student Day | End of Student Day |
|---|---|---|
Elementary | 7:40 a.m. | 2:05 p.m. |
Primary | 7:50 a.m. | 2:00 p.m. |
Middle | 8:30 a.m. | 3:00 p.m. |
Intermediate | 9:05 a.m. | 3:40 p.m. |
The times noted in the chart for the start of the school day indicate when students will be in the classroom to begin instruction. Bus or parent drop-off windows are slightly earlier than the time listed so that students have time to walk to their classroom, grab breakfast, and take care of other preparations for the school day.
