Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we continue to navigate the challenges of this pandemic, we have made some additional changes to our school calendar.  We would like to thank you all for your understanding and flexibility to these calendar changes as they have been made in an effort to provide the best educational outcomes for your children.  

The latest school calendar has been attached to this email with the following changes:

1.  Winter Break will start earlier.  The last day of classes will be on December 18th.

2.  February 12th was restored as a day off for students.

3.  The last day of school for grades K-11 has been extended to June 10th due to the extended Thanksgiving and Winter breaks.  Please note that graduation for seniors will remain on June 4th.

The previous extension of the Thanksgiving break proved successful as part of our pandemic response and we believe that the extension of the Winter break will also be helpful.  Our district remains committed to protecting as much instructional time as safely possible.  We continue to stay focused on our Covid-19 mitigation strategies in our buildings and are proud of our student body cooperation in these efforts.  We look forward to the end of this pandemic and know that brighter days are ahead for our community.

Thank you,

Daniel Bell
