GPS Bell Schedules School Year 2026-2027

Dear Garnet-Patterson S.T.A.Y Families,

I hope this message finds you and your family well.

As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen schoolwide systems, create the best possible conditions for teaching and learning, and ensure compliance with required nutrition guidelines, Garnet-Patterson S.T.A.Y will implement a slightly revised daily bell schedule beginning Monday, October 26, 2026.

The revised schedule reflects a minor adjustment to the school day. Students will continue attending the same classes and courses currently on their schedules. The primary change is that all five instructional periods will now be 55 minutes in length, and students will have a 55-minute lunch period.

We understand that even small schedule adjustments can impact family routines. We encourage you to review the updated schedule with your students and help them prepare for the transition. Our staff will spend the week supporting students and ensuring a smooth implementation of the new schedule.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school community. By working together, we can continue to provide a positive, structured, and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
