Waterloo Schools Adding More Instruction Time To Daily Schedule
Students attending Waterloo public schools next year will be spending more time in the classroom each day, under a schedule change approved by the Board of Education this week.
Beginning with the 2018-19 academic year, schools in the Waterloo District will be operating on the following daily schedule:
- Elementary (except Cunningham): 8:45 AM - 3:45 PM
- Middle/High School & Cunningham: 7:45 AM - 2:45 PM
