Every month throughout the school year we will share information with you through a brief Safety Corner article regarding ways we are working to improve safety in our schools and buildings.

Snow Make Up Days - District Plan

Due to the February snow storm, we had to cancel school for six days (February 4, February 5, February 6, February 11, February 12 and February 13). State Superintendent Reykdal has provided guidance that permits districts to waive missed days, but this does not allow districts to waive instructional time. The state requires 180 days (can waive) and 1,027 instructional hours (cannot waive). So, if days are waived, instructional minutes must still be made up in the existing calendar.

Below is our district’s plan for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year:

• There are no changes to the spring parent/teacher conference schedule (March 25-29) or the spring break schedule (April 1-5).
• There are no changes to graduation ceremonies and events.
• We have applied for a waiver for three of the six missed days. (Note: We are still required to make up the instructional minutes.)
• The new last day of school will be Friday, June 21.
• To make up for the lost instructional minutes, Fridays (April 12 through June 21) will end 50 minutes later than typical Fridays. Please click here for the revised schedule of school dismissal times.
• The last day of school, Friday, June 21, will end according to the Professional Growth Friday schedule (not the half-day early release schedule).
• On Fridays (April 12-June 21) school buses will drop off students 50 minutes later than originally scheduled.
• Middle and high school Friday bell schedules will be adjusted. Please watch for more information about this from our middle and high schools.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your student's school directly. We appreciate your understanding.
