Early Release day every month? Today was early release for my boys, they got released two hours earlier than usual.

Just curious if other schools around the country do this...
 
They have a day every month when they go home and the teachers have in service so I guess that would be the same principle. Well I don't have children in school anymore but I do know that they do this!!:p
 
Today and tomorrow are early release days for my DS...they are holding parent/teacher conferences. We always have at least one early release day in the week or two prior to each report card.
 
Our HS does late start instead-works better for the kids!
 

Our kids are released at 1130 (versus 1500) on the first Friday of every month. This is in-service time for the teachers. They are in private school though, so I don't know if this is the norm for the area or not.
 
Elementary have early release every Wednesday. 2 instead of 3

Middle and hiigh schools have early release once a month. About 2 hours early I think.
 
Our schools here have "half days" about once a month, but this month there are about 4 or 5 half days because of parent/teacher conferences.
 
There isnt anything like that at my high school, but I wish there was!

Seniors are allowed to apply for early release/late arrival, though. There are some requirements (no suspensions, certain gpa, etc.), but if a senior only has a few classes that they have to take, they can set up their schedule so that they only have to be there in the morning or the afternoon.
 
Ours is also Wednesday, but only once a month for K-12 grades. Conferences are usually scheduled before or after school.

Talking Hands~ I'm guessing that you must be in Dade county, I didn't know they have early release every Wednesday.

From these replies, it seems to vary quite a bit.... There was no early release when I went to school. The kids seem to like it.;)
 
we have early dismissal every Wednesday for elementary ( K-6) at 1:20, and one Thursday a month the secondary schools have late arrival ( 2 hours later than normal)
 
We have Faculty Senate days (inservice) once a month and the kids are released two hours early. Had Parent-Teacher Conferences last night. a VERY long day.
 
Where I teach, we have four days a year where we have a 2 hour delay for teacher inservice. Where I live, there are 2 of those, plus 2 days where they dismiss 2 hours early. The 2 hour delays are SO much easier for my family. If I didn't have parents 5 minutes away to get them off the bus at 1:30 on early dismissal days, I don't know what I'd do.

My kids get out an hour early every Wednesday. This I know is k-8 not sure about high school yet(find out next year), but I do think this is district wide because they are teacher work days. Every Wednesday they have a certain subject that a seminar is given on and the teachers HAVE to attend it. What we don't get anymore is a full day teacher work day, that was changed a few years ago to this system.
