Senate Bill 328 “Late Start” Schedule
In 2018, the California State Senate passed Senate Bill 328 requiring middle schools and high schools to begin no earlier than 8:00 am and 8:30 am respectively. This law goes into effect on July 1, 2022. As such, the District has worked to create a universal bell schedule that takes into account student transportation, coordination with our elementary district partners, as well as after-school activities and athletics. Additionally, the District’s traditional Wednesday “Flex Day” has been moved to Tuesdays.
Below you will find the 2022-2023 bell schedule for Desert Winds and R. Rex Parris High Schools.
