CES to Begin 5 Minutes Earlier Starting Thursday

Callaghan to Begin 5 Minutes Earlier Starting Thursday
Posted on 04/09/2025

In an effort to meet Virginia instruction standards and maintain consistency across the school division after previous weather-related and other closures, Callaghan Elementary will align its schedule with the adjustments previously implemented at Mountain View Elementary School and Sharon Elementary School. This will involve moving the tardy bell 5 minutes forward for the remainder of the school year.

This change does not affect bus routes.

The adjusted start time for Callaghan Elementary School beginning Thursday, April 10, will be 8:05 a.m. 

Alleghany Highlands Public Schools appreciates the ongoing flexibility and understanding of students’ families as the school division works to provide consistent instruction despite the various challenges it has faced this school year.
