2021-22 Calendar Change: Friday, February 18
The Board approved an adjustment to the calendar earlier this week that redesignates Friday, February 18 as a "no school" day for all students and staff. As a result, the early release on Wednesday, February 16 will be changed to a full day of school. This change is intended to provide a mental health day for all of our students and staff in recognition of their extraordinary efforts during this challenging school year.
The last day of school is scheduled for Friday, June 17 (early release day). This takes into account the two traditional snow days used on December 22 and January 7, which have been added to the calendar in June. As January 14 was a RED/remote learning day, it counts as a school day and does not need to be made up in June.
