Is 7:10 a.m. too early to start high school? | Letter

Northshore School District (NSD) has the earliest high-school bell time of any district in the region. Early bell times mean teens get inadequate sleep, which leads to poorer academic performance and health.

Early bell times mean teens get inadequate sleep, which leads to poorer academic performance and health. Parent Advocates for a Later Start (PALS) http://www.facebook.com/groups/112424038826467/ is currently working toward achieving a later start time for high-school students in NSD.

Please sign PALS’ online petition today to help reach the goal of presenting 500 signatures by the March 13 meeting NSD School Board meeting.
