Please note that Colonial Middle School has a staggered schedule for the first day of school. Seventh- and eighth-grade students arrive at 11:45 a.m. to give sixth-graders (who arrive on time) a chance to acclimate to the building. The first class begins at 12 p.m. and students should report to their Core 1 class upon arrival. Seventh- and eighth-graders should eat lunch before coming to school. Buses will pick students up four hours later than regular time.
