November 4, 2009—Principal Heather Graham announced today that D.A. Moodie's school hours could be from 9:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. starting September, 2010. In addition to a favourable response from 85% of D.A. staff and up to 71% of parents, Ms. Graham said that the benchmark used for this decision is: "Will a later start time improve student learning and/or student safety? It is actually the benchmark that I use for all decision making in school," she added.
