Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Winter of 2019 has been one for the record books! But, on a positive note, we only have 29 more days until Spring! With the five snow and cold days and the one late start we had in January and February, the District no longer meets the requirements for DPI instructional minutes for students. The District will need to make up instructional time to meet the DPI requirements. While no plan for making up instructional time is perfect, our goal is to make the time as productive for learning as possible, with the fewest interruptions as possible.
Last week we notified you that March 8 would now be a school day.
In addition to March 8, because of the snow day on February 12, the District will use April 18, which was a previously scheduled teacher professional development day, as a school day. This day causes fewer interruptions as a make up day than other options because staff already needed to be here as a planned non-instructional day.
If you have previously arranged plans for these days, please treat the days as you would any other absence and call the office to alert staff that your child will be absent. We apologize for any inconveniences this causes your family. If your child needs to be absent on these make-up days, we will work hard to make sure that they have all they need to make their absence go as smoothly as possible.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and programs. It is greatly appreciated! Please call school if you have any questions about snow and cold make up days.
Carla
