Seattle Public Schools is starting a School Day Task Force to take a close look at how the school day is organized for all grade levels. This group will review topics like lunch schedules, start and end times, and ways to better support students’ learning, safety, extracurricular activities, and peer connections during the school day. 

We are looking for students, families, teachers, school leaders, and community members from elementary, middle, and high schools to join us in this work. The task force will meet 1-2 times a month from December through May, mostly online. We want to hear your experiences and ideas to help shape recommendations for the future.

Thank you for helping us build a better school day experience for every student!
