STUDENT LATE START DAYS

The Board of Education approved 12 Student Late Start Days (Early Morning Work Sessions for teachers) for the 2025-2026 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 hiigh 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 80 minutes later than usual.  The app MYRIDE360 will give you the pickup time on late start days.  Click here to access information on how to set up the app.
