Ft. Worth extends schedule for pre-k students
Parents with young children in the Fort Worth Independent School District will be able to pick up their pre-K and elementary students at the same dismissal time next school year. As pre-K enrollment kicked off for Fort Worth ISD last week, the district announced an extended day for its youngest students that will align with the kindergarten through fifth-grade schedule. The day will last from 7:50 a.m. to 3:20 p.m., adding an extra 50 minutes until the 3- and 4-year-old students leave for the day. The change will simplify transportation logistics for families with more than one child who are currently having to make two trips to the same campus.
