2024-25 School Year Calendar
In December, school board members approved school year calendars for 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. These approved calendars place the first day of school in the third week of August to better support academic needs, including ending the first semester prior to winter break and better alignment with Advanced Placement testing in the spring.
The Calendar Committee, with feedback from staff and the community, determined the academic advantages for starting before Labor Day significantly outweighed the advantages for starting after Labor Day.
Findings:
- Provides more instructional days before required testing.
- Academic Calendar better aligns with State and AP testing.
- Students tend to be less engaged and attendance wanes the further we go in June.
- Possible alignment of semesters with winter break (when start time is 2 or more weeks before Labor Day)
Calendar Highlights:
- Starts: Third week of August
- Ends: First week of June
- Winter Break: 2 Weeks
- Built in Snow Days (and possible air quality days): 2
- Semester 1 – Ends before Winter Break
