Staggered Start

To help ease students into the new school year, Bentley School will follow a staggered start schedule.

Bright Futures Play Academy

Your teacher will be in touch with parents in August in regards to their staggered start days.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten staggered start is full days with busing.

Tuesday, September 2, Kindergarten students in the Purple Pod (Tue/Wed) will attend.

Wednesday, September 3, Kindergarten students in the Yellow Pod (Wed/Thur) will attend.

Thursday, September 4, Kindergarten students in the Teal Pod (Tue/Thur) will attend.

Friday, September 5 will be an Extra Friday for all Kindergarten pods.

Grades 1-8

Tuesday, September 2, students in Grades 1–8 with last names beginning A–L will attend;

Wednesday, September 3, students in Grades 1–8 students with last names M–Z will attend.

This staggered approach helps ensure a smooth, supportive transition for students as they begin the new school year.

Grades 9–12

Tuesday, September 2, all students in Gr. 9 - 12 will all begin on this day with no staggered start.

Chromebooks

Jr and sr high students require a chromebook. We have very limited supply of chromebooks available for student use - only 5 in the high school and 15 in the junior high. For more details on chromebook purchasing options for parents, please visit this document or refer to the Wolf Tech Always Learning for things you need to be aware of when purchasing a chromebook.

Teachers will be greeting students at their assigned drop off locations.
