School System Calendar Changes
On April 13, 2016, the Board of Education revised the 2015-2016 school system operating calendars. Students will be attending school on April 29, 2016 as a two-hour early dismissal day, instead of a full professional day for staff. There will be no school for Head Start and Prekindergarten on April 29, 2016.
By having students attend on Friday, April 29, 2016, the last day for students will be moved to Friday, June 10, 2016. This will impact the final days of the school year in the following manner:
• Tuesday, June 7, 2016 will be a regular day of school with all Head Start and Prekindergarten students attending school on a normal schedule. June 7, 2016 will be the last day of school for Head Start and Prekindergarten students.
• Wednesday, June 8, 2016 will be a two-hour early dismissal day with no school for Head Start and Prekindergarten students.
