The first day of school is on a MONDAY this year. Monday, August 18 will be the first day of school and we will go through Friday of that week. We have the Big Spring Conference Professional Development Day on Friday, September 26. No students will have school on Friday, September 26, so we are using Monday, August 18 as a replacement day for student attendance. This is the only alteration to our Tuesday-Friday attendance calendar (unless we need to use Mondays to make up for snow days). A few schools in the Big Spring Conference go Monday-Thursday and the rest go Tuesday-Friday. The Big Spring Conference alternates the Conference Professional Development Day so this will happen every other year.
The 25-26 school year calendar is available on the website. This was included when the calendar was adopted early last spring. Please also note the make up days in case of bad weather during the next school year when planning vacations that could interfere with final exams if we have a bad winter. Thank you!
