Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Shaver-Hood presents the new school day schedule.
Starting March 8, students who attend Wareham Public Schools through the in-person hybrid model will spend full days in the classroom that are only slightly shorter than the pre-covid norm.
Under the new plan, elementary school students will spend an additional two hours and 40 minutes at school each day, while Wareham Middle School and High School students will spend an additional two and a half hours in the classroom.
Cohorts will remain the same and will not be combined as part of this extension of the school day. New transportation times will be released as soon as possible, but students’ bus numbers will not change.

Newton school officials said they are investigating a hateful letter sent late last month to a Brown Middle School staff member of color whose job includes developing Black History Month lessons in the building.
The letter was directly addressed to the Brown staff member, who picked it up in his school mailbox. Inside the envelope was a small note that consisted solely of the letters âALMâ in large block letters, which school officials said stood for âAll Lives Matter.â It did not have any signature. The staff member received the message Jan. 29.
