Updated Back to School Information

I apologize for reaching out again so soon after sharing our back-to-school plans. However, due to construction delays identified this week, we have made the decision to move the start of school back one week. Students will now begin on Monday, August 31, and Tuesday, September 1.

Please know that this decision was not made lightly. We want to ensure our teachers and staff have sufficient time to prepare classrooms, finalize important details, and make sure the school is ready to provide our students with the welcoming and safe learning environment they deserve.

We understand that a change to the school schedule can be an inconvenience for families, and we sincerely appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work through these final steps.

We are incredibly excited to welcome our first students to Hedgesville Early Learning Academy and begin this journey together. Thank you for your continued support as we prepare to open the doors to our new school!
