District Events Calendar

Calendar Process

    1. A committee of parents, teachers, students, principals, administrators and community members draft and recommend two proposed calendars.
    2. Employees and community members have an opportunity to vote for their preference.
    3. The superintendent reviews the calendars and responses, making a recommendation to the Board of Education.
    4. The Board of Education votes on the calendar recommendation.

    The committee strives to create calendars that focus on academics and maximize instruction. Breaks are scheduled so that teachers and students have consecutive days off in the winter and spring.

    The committee also considers:

    • Avoiding days when high absenteeism is likely, such as major religious holidays
    • Placing make-up days where they are likely to be needed, and using workdays after June 10 as a last resort 
    • Recognizing the need for winter break to be as long as possible
    • Giving consideration to federal holiday
    • Planning the timing of spring break
