Update on snow days and school year calendar
As of today, the last day of the year for students is Thursday, June 20. The professional day for teachers originally scheduled for June 17 will take place on June 21.
(At a special public meeting on February 12, the Board of School Commissioners approved changes to the plan for making up “snow days." In the previously approved plan, the first snow day was to be made up with schools opening on Presidents’ Day; the next two snow days were to be made up by converting the first two days of spring break to regular school days. Under the new approved plan, snow days taken on January 14 and February 11, 12, and 20 will be made up on June 17 to 20.)
