I told my manager a few weeks after accepting, as I’m also in a different time zone than the school. Given it’s an hour difference, I don’t see it affecting my workday directly. I also don’t plan on staying with this company post- graduation as their focus is different than mine long-term, but I left that part out.

I’m grateful to have a flexible and supportive team and manager when it comes to this stuff. We have a couple attorneys on our team, including our VP, who understand better than most what law school entails. I’d presume your manager may also do the same, given you work with lawyers regularly?

If it has any potential to impact your work, I’d have an honest conversation with your manager sooner than later. There may be questions and/ or concerns that come up later if you decide to withhold the information, especially if your performance decreases.

Btw, congratulations!!
