Our official school/calendar has five (5) emergency days built in at the end of the year. There may be a need to dismiss school due to inclement weather and will require the use of the makeup
days indicated in May. Please do not make any travel/vacation plans during those dates. Please keep in mind that only 5% of the staff may be absent before or after published holidays per
the contract. Emergency dates are May 26, 27, 31 and June 1-2. May 26 is also a scheduled Teacher Work day. See the underlined Teacher Work Day information above for additional details.
