Seattle Public Schools will have new school bell schedules for the 2017-2018 school year.

Starting this fall, there will be two tiers of school schedules and the school day for each student will be 20 minutes longer. The change in schedule will allow more time for student learning and teacher collaboration.

Schools will also have 75-minute early release each Wednesday throughout the year (except the first day of school, Sept. 6.)
