Prince William County high school students will be getting an extra hour of sleep this upcoming school year, as the division's Superintendant, Dr. Steven L. Walts, has moved the schedule forward by one hour.
All high school students within the county regardless of their participation in online or in-person learning will now start school at 8:30 am, instead of the typical 7:30 a.m., and end at 3:30 p.m. instead of 2:10 pm. The decision took into consideration various parent and student surveys, the majority of which preferred a later school start time, as well as the health/academic benefits students, could reap, according to an email from the school division.
All 92,000 county public schools students will head back to class virtually beginning September 8.
