Important District Schedule Changes in April
Yesterday we reached an approval for our schedules during the weeks of 4/7 and 4/14. We have made changes to the district calendar and are attaching a screenshot of what those weeks will look like.
The C day before grading allows students to connect with all of their teachers before grading day and it also maintains that we will not need to re-order the A/B sequence for the rest of the year.
The Testing day on 4/18th is a HALF DAY. Students will be released at 12:30pm. We are trying to give as much advance notice to parents that this is a half day and that buses will not be running an early schedule. They will be running a regular transportation schedule. Further Testing Day details will be forthcoming
