Who it tends to fit
A good match when
- A 9:40 a.m. start and 4:20 p.m. dismissal work for the household.

- You plan to use the Family Resource Center and student-support services.
- Luhr is the assigned school or a Moore Zone option you plan to rank.
Think twice when
- You need a 7:30 a.m. elementary schedule.

School assignments and program availability can change. Confirm the current assignment and feeder path with JCPS.
