Late Start Days for 2026-2027

As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, we would like to inform you of the scheduled late start dates for staff professional learning and collaboration.

On the following dates, students will report to school one hour later than their normal start time:

• September 2, 2026
• October 7, 2026
• November 4, 2026
• December 2, 2026
• February 3, 2027
• March 3, 2027
• April 7, 2027
• May 5, 2027

These late start mornings provide valuable time for teachers and staff to participate in professional development, curriculum planning, and collaboration focused on improving student learning. 

Ivy League will continue to be at the Elementary School to help provide before and after-school childcare, which would include childcare for the extra hour on these late start dates.  For more information about Ivy League, please check out their website: https://ivyleaguekids.org/ivy-league-kids-manteno-cusd-5/

Career Center students will attend KACC as regularly scheduled. Buses will depart the high school for KACC at 8:05 AM. 

Bus pickup times will also run one hour later than normal on these dates. School dismissal times will remain unchanged.

We appreciate your support and partnership as we continue working to provide the best possible educational experience for all students. Please mark these dates on your family calendar.
