New Start & End Times for 2023/24
Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, Jeffco Public Schools will implement new start and end times for schools across the district. The Healthy and Equitable Start and End Times initiative will create consistency in instructional time, and increase transportation efficiency and reliability to best serve all Jeffco students. We are grateful for the advocacy and investment of parents and community members who were a part of the Start and End Times Taskforce that initiated this important change.
School leaders shared their school’s new start and end times with their staff and families earlier today. School Finder is now updated with the new start and end times for next school year. Visit the District’s Healthy and Equitable Start and End Times webpage to learn more about this initiative.
Leawoods new start and end times for the 2023/24 school year are K-5, 7:45-2:35. Preschool times TBD.
