Subscribe to RSS Feed for News HeadlinesNew Middle School Start Times for 2025-26 School Year
Beginning the 2025-26 school year, Middle School North will start at 8:00 AM and Middle School South will start at 8:20 AM. These slight adjustments — just 4 minutes earlier for MSN and 16 minutes later for MSS — were designed to better support families who may have to drop off at both schools while keeping close to the current time schedule. We appreciate your flexibility as we make thoughtful changes to help everyone’s daily schedule run a little smoother as we transition to this new grade level configuration! Bus time notifications will be sent out in Mid-August to allow for enrollment changes. Parents can request transportation after August 1st when filling out the Annual Forms.

Anchor Bay Receives Readers Choice Award 1st Place
Sign up for SchoolMessenger
Our District uses School Messenger Notification System for important information such as school closings. If your child is enrolled in our schools and you would like to receive text messages from Anchor Bay School District, send a text message to (67587) with the words “opt in” or “subscribe” as the message.
We checked the reports that are issued by School Messenger and found that many of the text messages (SMS) were being reported as BLOCKED. This means that parents who received a text message from School Messenger during the initial set up didn’t respond back. School Messenger assumes that you DO NOT want text messages if they do not receive a response. Send a text message to (67587) with the words “opt in” or “subscribe” as the message to correct the issue.
