Verona’s public schools open for the 2017-2018 school year on Wednesday, September 6. School hours are pretty much what they’ve always been, but if you have a student in H.B. Whitehorne Middle School, you’re going to have to get used to some new drop-off rules.
Because construction at the Verona Public Library has closed the exit from the HBW driveway onto Gould Street, the district is urging HBW parents to not use the driveway for drop-offs. Drivers should use the municipal lot behind the Chase bank branch or a designated area on Gould.
As for schedules, Verona High School opens at 8:00 a.m., while HBW and Verona’s four elementary schools and special education elementary classes start at 8:30 a.m. School ends at 2:45 p.m. for VHS and the elementary schools, while HBW students must stay in their classrooms until 2:52 p.m.
If your students are not yet registered for school, you need to go to the office at the school they should be in. Pupils entering school for the first time must present an official birth certificate and a doctor’s certificate showing required immunizations. Pupils transferring from another school district should present report cards and immunizations records.
