This deadline is essential to ensure Edmentum instructors have the time needed to review and grade all submissions before their offices close for winter break.

Let's finish the semester strong! Once the hard work is behind you, we hope you enjoy a well-deserved winter break that officiallly begins at the end of the school day on Friday, December 20, 2024.

In doing so, we will continue to “focus on addressing students' academic, physical, emotional, and social needs while providing the needed resources and fostering the active involvement of their families through schools and the community.” (Indiana Department of Education Family Friendly Schools Handbook)
