Summary: We are in the final planning stages of developing the 2024-2025 school calendar.

A calendar survey with two draft options will be launched Monday, Feb. 26 for parents, students and staff.

Draft A features:
-No change to school day start/end times
-Student/Staff Days:
*169 student instructional days

*Middle dismissal: 3:55 p.m. (additional 10 minutes)
*High dismissal: 4:30 p.m. (additional 15 minutes)

-Why? This change to school day dismissal times creates:
*Additional four-day weeks
*Instructional days that are the same length at elementary, middle and high school
*Designated teacher-directed staff workdays, parent/teacher conference days and campus collaboration days
*Additional time for high school students traveling between home campus and CTE Center

-Student/Staff Days:
