Calendar Changes
Due to the number of snow days that have been used thus far this school
year, the Superintendent of Schools has announced the following
calendar changes. School will be in session on March 17 and May
2. (Those days had been set aside as Teacher Inservice
Days.) Please make these changes to your calendar. This
means that, barring any further snow/emergency days, the last day of
school will be Thursday, June 19.
