You know, I'm not quite sure how I feel about a longer school day. My children are literally just babies (the oldest is 2.5 years, the youngest is 4 months) so I have a few years before kindergarten....

Students generally go from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week and for a few hours every other Saturday. They also go to school for several weeks in the summer.
