Welcome to Durham Middle School
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 each morning. Students who arrive early will report to our
cafeteria and sign in for silent study hall.
- All car-riders should be off campus by 4:30 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.
