Mesquite ISD – school hours for next student year updated

Mesquite, Texas - In answer to concerns raised by families and staff about the early commencement of elementary schools, the Mesquite Independent School District (MISD) has taken immediate steps to address this issue, leveraging the knowledge of its Transportation Department to devise a practical solution.

The main goal is to align the adjusted schedule with the district's transportation needs, thereby establishing a more balanced arrangement.

In line with its unwavering commitment to fostering a conducive academic environment for all parties involved, the MISD has proactively tweaked the start and end times of the school day for the forthcoming academic year. This is aimed at improving the daily routines of families and staff members.

With the new schedule, elementary schools will now start at 7:50 a.m. and end at 3:20 p.m. Middle schools will open at 8:10 a.m. and close at 3:40 p.m. On the other hand, high schools will begin at 8:30 a.m. and finish at 4:00 p.m.

MISD plans to keep everyone informed about these significant changes by swiftly updating the 2023-24 academic calendar on its official district website. This updated information, including the new school hours, the high school A/B schedule, and detailed grading periods, is expected to be easily accessible shortly.

This tactical move by MISD highlights its commitment to promptly and effectively respond to feedback. With these changes, the district is hopeful that it will make the daily schedule more convenient for students, families, and staff. This quick and well-planned response from MISD demonstrates a strong dedication to meeting the needs and ensuring the satisfaction of their community.
