Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, opening day on August 23, 2011, students attending Logan Elm will have new starting and ending times as listed below:
| Building | Student | Teacher |
| High School | 8:05 a.m. - 2:35 p.m. | 7:20 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. |
| Middle School | 8:05 a.m. - 2:35 p.m. | 7:20 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. |
| Elementary Schools | 9:10 a.m. - 3:20 p.m. | 8:25 a.m. - 3:25 p.m. |
The changes in the school day schedule allow for:
- Teacher planning time prior to student arrival, which maximizes teacher-student contact time during the school day and reduces costs of personnel
- Building-wide common planning time for teachers to collaborate, analyze student data and plan for intervention
- Elimination of the 1 hour delayed start once per month
- A larger window of time to evaluate road conditions during bad weather, with the potential of using fewer calamity days and maximizing instructional time.
