Delayed-Start Wednesdays Beginning 2026–2027 School Year
Beginning next school year, Clarkston School District will transition from early-release Wednesdays to delayed-start Wednesdays.
This change allows for more meaningful staff collaboration time focused on improving student learning, while also helping create more consistent after-school schedules for students and families.
We understand that changes to the school schedule can impact routines, and we want to make sure you have the information you need to plan ahead.
Please see the attached overview and FAQ for full details, including:
- How the schedule will work
- What staff will be doing during this time
- Options for early drop-off if needed
- Key dates and exceptions
We have worked to design next year’s calendar with consistency in mind and appreciate your partnership as we make this transition.
