Hornet Central
Hornet Central: An Early Arrival Option for Middle School Students
Program Details:
Hornet Central offers supervised spaces for students to gather before school. Students have choices for how to spend their time before school:
-
A quiet space provides an opportunity for students to ease into the day listening to headphones, reading a book, or finishing homework. Community Volunteers will be available on a consistent schedule to help with homework.
-
Students who want a more active start to their day may head to the gym for a friendly game of basketball or other games
-
Monthly opportunities for service projects, career exploration and more will also be available
At 9:00am, students will be dismissed from the designated spaces and the schools will be open for all students, allowing ample preparation time for the 9:20am start time.
All students must be registered in order to arrive early to school and participate in Hornet Central. Full scholarships are available for families who qualify for tuition assistance. Visit Financial Assistance for more information.
The program is organized as a partnership between Edina Community Ed, Middle School building administrations, and the EPS Student Support Services department.
