School Hours &
Important Transportation Info
8:50 AM - 4:15 PM
- It is highly recommended that students arrive early (before 8:50
AM) only if they have a specific reason (appointment with teacher, intramurals, etc.).
- No student should be dropped
off before 8:15 AM; there is no supervision
available prior to this time and the front doors remain locked until
8:15 AM each morning. Students who arrive early will report to our
cafeteria and sign in for silent study hall.
- Students should be in homeroom when the
bell rings each morning at 9:10 AM to avoid being marked tardy.
- All car-riders should be off campus by 4:30
PM each afternoon.
- Please send a note in with your student if an early check-out is required or you are making any transportation changes
for the day other than your normal arrangements.
- Early dismissals are accepted until 3:45
PM. If you arrive to check out your student AFTER 3:45 PM, please
accept our apologies but we will not be able to call into
classrooms. Students will be dismissed at the normal 4:15 PM dismissal time.
- All last-minute transportation changes must
be completed by 3:45 PM to ensure we have adequate time to communicate this with
your student. For safety reasons, no transportation changes will be announced at the end of the day.

Georgia Parent Survey
The
Georgia Parent Survey contains 24 questions and may be completed
using a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. If you do
not have access to a computer, you may use one at Durham from 8 AM -
9:15 AM throughout the survey window. All parents are
encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data
will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star
Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to
the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The
Georgia Parent
Survey is also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish
version within the survey link below.
