Late Start Days
The Board of Education approved 12 Student Late Start Days (Early Morning Work Sessions for teachers) for the 2026-2027 school year to provide designated times for teachers of the same course within the same department to share their best instructional practices. Each morning work session is 75 minutes in length. A student’s daily class schedule will start on these days following work sessions at 8:50 a.m. for early-start schools (Fremd, Hoffman Estates, and Schaumburg high schools) and at 9:35 a.m. for late-start schools (Conant and Palatine high schools).
District 211 has adjusted bus times on Student Late Start Days.
Bus routes will begin approximately 90 minutes later than usual. The app MYRIDE360 will give you the pickup time on late start days. Access information on how to set up the app.
