Polaris K-12 Start/End Times

  • Our first day of school for all K-12 students is August 15th. Unlike the rest of ASD, we will not be staggering our start date. Elementary students will join their family groups and become acquainted (or reacquainted) with their teacher and peers. Our secondary students will enter into their fall intensives. Family group assignments and secondary intensive placements, along with secondary fall class schedules, will be available on Parent and StudentConnect on August 9th. 

    As a School of Choice here in ASD, Polaris operates on a different schedule. This affects both our school start/end times as well as our PLC days. Please take time to read the information outlined below and download our school calendar to receive notifications regarding these unique differences. 

    • School starts at 8:30 for all K-12 students. Our doors will open at 8:10. Elementary students arriving before 8:30 will report to either the gym or library. Secondary students will begin their day in Advisory.

    • Dismissal is as followed:

      • Standard Day Schedule (beginning 8/26/24) all K-12 students are dismissed at 3:00PM. 

      • Intensive Schedule* (beginning 8/15/24 - 8/23/24) all K-12 students are dismissed at 2:00PM.  *Please note that even during secondary only intensives, elementary students will also dismiss at 2:00.

    PLC ½ Day Schedule- all K-12 students are dismissed at 11:30AM. Please see the Polaris School Calendar for exact dates.
