Pineview Family,


At LCS we pride ourselves on listening to our community and involving parents, employees and students in the process. Over the past few years the issue of school start times has been discussed in various conversations. We would like to gather additional feedback on your thoughts about having two start times for Leon County Schools. Please see the notes below setting the possible parameters of moving to two start times. This non-binding survey will be open from Friday, March 8, 2019 through Friday, March 15, 2019 (5:00 pm). Thank you for taking the time to participate and know that this input will help guide our leadership in the future.

·        Below are the present times for most Leon County Schools:

High Schools:                                           
7:30am – 1:50 pm
(SAIL 8:00 am – 2:45 pm)
