Last day of school – dismissal times | Friday, May 30, 2025

As we approach the final day of the 2024–25 school year on Friday, May 30, we want to thank our students, families, and staff for the energy and dedication you’ve brought into our schools every single day. The last day of school marks the close of another chapter.

We know there have been a few questions regarding dismissal times, and we want to make sure everyone has clear information so families can plan accordingly. The early dismissal schedule for Friday, May 30 is as follows:

  • 10:30 a.m. – Milestones Academy (Grades K–5)

  • 10:45 a.m. – Milestones Academy (Grades 6–12)

  • 11:00 a.m. – Phoenix Academy

  • 11:15 a.m. – J.P. McCaskey High School, Buehrle Academy

  • 11:30 a.m. – Jackson, Lincoln, Reynolds, and Wheatland Middle Schools

  • 12:00 p.m. – All Elementary Schools and Martin School

Please be sure to coordinate transportation and pickup based on these times. If you have questions about your child’s school, we encourage you to contact the front office for assistance.

As we wrap up the year, we reflect on all the experiences that shaped it: projects completed, challenges overcome, friendships built, and lessons learned both in and out of the classroom. Every field trip, concert, game, and classroom discussion has helped form the story of this school year. Whether your student is finishing their first year in kindergarten or getting ready to graduate, each step has mattered.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together. This summer, we hope you find time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. Thank you for trusting us with your children’s education. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in August for the 2025-26 school year!
