In a recent government meeting, school officials outlined their snow day policy for the academic year, emphasizing a structured approach to managing potential disruptions caused by inclement weather. This year, the district has incorporated four designated snow days into the academic calendar, intentionally opting not to use flexible instruction days.

The plan details the process for utilizing these snow days, with the aim of keeping parents informed about potential changes to the school schedule. If all four snow days are used, the district will consider pulling back scheduled days off to maintain the graduation date for seniors, set for June 6. The first potential pullback day is December 2, following Thanksgiving, contingent upon the exhaustion of the snow days in November.

Further adjustments could affect the calendar in April, where an early dismissal day on April 16 may be converted into a full instruction day, impacting the subsequent Holy Thursday and Good Friday holidays. Additionally, the Memorial Day holiday on May 26 is also on the table for potential changes if necessary.

The district has been approved for flexible instruction days (FID) should the need arise, but officials indicated that this would require a decision from the board of education. The plan aims to provide clarity and foresight for families, with updates to be shared on the district's website and social media.

Officials expressed hope that the snow days would not be fully utilized, as this could lead to a challenging winter. The communication strategy is designed to keep families informed and prepared for any necessary adjustments throughout the school year. For any questions, parents are encouraged to reach out to building-level principals.
