All middle schools’ hours will be 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Central students’ hours will be 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.

The changes are in response to feedback from staff and parents, according to Farmington Public Schools. The bus shuttles for students who attend classes at another Farmington public school during the day will continue.
