School Calendar Update

The voted at its Nov. 8 meeting as follows: February vacation will now be a four-day weekend with no school Monday and Tuesday, February 20 and 21, and school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (Feb. 22-24) of that week.

There will be an early dismissal on Friday, March 23 instead of a day off and the school year has been extended to Friday, June 15.

Snow days will be added to the week of June 18 and if five snow days are exceeded then the board will take days from April vacation beginning with the Friday and working backwards to Monday.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Diane Ullman said she is considering creating board policy that would make February vacation the starting point to makeup days due to excessive days off from storms. In that way parents can plan. She said those who have scheduled school trips this year for February vacation will be excused.
