Greenwich Public Schools Bell Times Finalized

Greenwich Public Schools Superintendent Sal Corda announced that bell times for all schools have been finalized and that the current start and dismissal times for the District’s eleven elementary schools and the preschool program will not change next year. The bell times for the high school and middle schools had been previously established as indicated in the table below. School Bus Consultants, working with District and school administration, has worked over the last several months to gather information and develop bus schedule and routing scenarios with the objective of, ideally, maintaining elementary school bell times.

Dr. Corda said, “We are pleased that we have been able to keep our elementary start times the same. We are making great progress on addressing all of the elements, which are connected to this change in school start times. I do want to reinforce that this decision, while it represents a change in our present model, is being made with the full expectation, based on all of the research that has been done, that it will positively impact our high school students in many ways. I appreciate the support we have received in moving forward on this and the suggestions that have been made to help us in this process.”
