Beginning in the 2017-18 school year, the instructional day for middle schools in Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) will shift 10 minutes. Under the new schedule, middle schools across the division will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end the day at 4 p.m. Currently, middle schools begin at 9:20 a.m. and end the day at 3:50 p.m.

The change will help alleviate transportation challenges and delays by building in more time between elementary school and middle school arrival and dismissal times.

Start times at Old Donation School (grades 2-8) and Bayside Sixth-Grade Campus will also change. Their new hours will be 8:35 a.m. to 3:39 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 3:35 p.m., respectively.
