Start and End Times

For the 2022-23 school year

Kyrene School District made changes to the bell schedule in 2019, after extensive community surveys and a thorough examination of transportation efficiency. The cost savings (approximately $700,000) from implementing a three-tier bell schedule allowed the District to provide counselors and social-emotional learning supports for students in all Kyrene schools.

Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, all Kyrene schools will start five minutes later and open campus gates five minutes earlier. This small change will have a big impact on transportation, helping to ensure school buses run on time. The extended time campuses are open before school will give Kyrene bus drivers additional time between routes. Thank you for your support as Kyrene works to ensure safe, on-time drop off and pick up for all students.

Preschool start times are in a separate table below and are unchanged.
