School start times are computed with busing in mind. There are often three start times: for elementary, for middle and junior high school, and for high school.

Academic quarter only applies to time given in full hours, and the academic quarter can be removed by saying that the time is "on the dot" by adding the word "dot" ("prick" in Swedish) or an actual ".".
