We’re ready to announce our start and finish times for Draper 2 and 3 for the 2017/2018 school year.  We want to thank all of you for participating in our recent surveys regarding start times and carpool!  As you know, there are many variables we considered when establishing the start and end times.  Parent preferences and convenience was fully considered and we appreciate all the input we received!  We also needed to take into account the after-school activities schedule for our 2A High School, including athletic events, and our carpool drop-off and pickup loads.

Draper 2: Grades K-6

Monday, Tuesday, and Friday – 8:15 am-3:25/3:50* pm

Wednesday and Thursday – 8:15 am-2:25/2:50*pm

*At D2 we divide the after-school pickup into 2 dismissals.  First dismissal and second dismissal.

Draper 3: Grades 7-12

Monday, Tuesday, and Friday – 8:00 am-3:15/3:40/4:15 pm

Wednesday and Thursday – 8:00 am-2:15/2:40/3:15 pm

Drop off for each school starts 30 minutes prior to the start time.

As returning families will recognize, the D3 schedule is the same as this year’s schedule, with D2’s schedule adjusting by just 15 minutes.  We know from our parent feedback that this schedule is not ideal for all families.  We do feel that it successfully achieves a balance between all the different considerations involved in scheduling the school day start and finish times.

You may be interested to know the results of our parent survey.  A majority of our elementary parents chose the 8:15 a.m. start time, though it was nearly evenly split between those parents and parents who prefer 8:00 a.m.  A large majority of our secondary parents (nearly double any other choice) chose the 8:00 a.m. start time.  We are grateful we are able to provide start times that our parents prefer by majority.

We are also excited to announce that we will be launching our new Draper 2 & 3 pilot bus program this fall!  More details to come in the middle of July.
