On Thursday, Bensalem School District Superintendent Samuel Lee announced new student arrival and dismissal times for the 2022-2023 school year.

“These modifications will provide targeted learning opportunities for students, additional staff, professional development and collaboration opportunities, and create efficiencies in planning transportation routes.” Lee said in the press release.

The press release also mentioned the new building and transportation schedules will allow many of the high school students to avoid standing at bus stops prior to sunrise and provide valuable time after the student day for teachers to collaborate and provide instructions for students in math and language arts.

Under this new schedule, High school students will arrive at 7:21 am and be dismissed by 2:11 pm, Middle school students will arrive at 8:10 am and be dismissed at 2:56 pm, and Elementary school students will arrive at 8:55 am and be dismissed at 3:41 pm.
