At a noon meeting today, the Board of Trustees approved an updated school calendar for 2020-21. The following was done to allow for more planning time for staff during this extraordinary year to ensure the best possible educational experience for our students:
November 9th will be a student holiday/staff planning (11/10/20 remains a PLC planning/late arrival for students day)
February 8th will be a student holiday/staff planning (2/9/21 will be a regular student day)
April 12th will be a student holiday/staff planning (4/13/21 will be a regular student day)
Thank you for your patience and understanding with these changes!
