Updated Last Day of School
After using an emergency day on March 16, the current last day of school schedule (pending no additional emergency days need to be used) is:
• May 29 – Full Day
• June 1 – Half Day (morning only)
We’ve had some questions about why we can’t simply make the last day a full day to make up for the half day we missed earlier. This comes down to state attendance requirements.
To count as a full attendance day, schools must provide at least 5 hours of instruction. Any time beyond that can be “banked,” which allows planned half days to still count as full days. Our last day is scheduled as a half day, but it counts as a full attendance day because we apply that banked time.
However, two half days cannot be combined into one full day under state rules. In addition, students are required to attend 176 days of school, so when we use an emergency day, we must add another full day to the calendar.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility!
