TULSA, Okla. – Friday, Sept. 4, will be the first “early release” Friday for Tulsa Public Schools for the 2015-16 school year. The early release dates for this year are as follows:
Students will be released from their schools approximately two hours early on early release Fridays. Release times vary by school, and can be found on the TPS website atwww.tulsaschools.org/3_Parents/attendance.asp. Lunch will be served prior to the close of school and buses will run generally two hours earlier than their regularly-scheduled time. School start times remain unchanged.
Parents are responsible for their own child care arrangements. TPS after-school child care programs will still be available for those students who are already enrolled in them.
Implemented in fall 2012, early release Fridays enable teachers, staff and administrators to have additional time to engage in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), where effective teaching methods and techniques can be studied and shared. The goal of PLCs is ultimately to improve student achievement.
