Dear Bancroft Families,
We wanted to bring to your attention that next year, for the 2021-22 school year, Bancroft will have a new bell (school start and end) times of 9:10am - 3:40pm.
At their November 10 meeting, the MPS Board of Education voted to approve the proposed bell time schedule beginning school year 2021-22. The Board of Education is confident the approved schedule can meet the goals of:
-
Increasing participation in after-school programming particularly for those schools with a higher concentration of families receiving educational benefits as this has been shown to have a direct correlation to student achievement and sense of belonging.
-
Reducing transportation costs so that savings can be reinvested into the classroom.
-
Improving on-time arrivals at schools.
