Rainier School District has several half days scheduled throughout the school year. Because our preschool program includes AM, PM, and Special Education AM Option A and Option B schedules, preschool attendance will look a little different on these days.

To provide each group with as much instructional time as possible, AM and PM preschool classes will alternate attendance on district half days and early departure days.

Please note: On these special schedule days, Option A and Option B students should follow the dates listed below rather than their regular weekly Option A/Option B schedule.

November 3: AM Preschool Option A.......... November 4: PM Preschool Only
November 5: AM Preschool Option B ..........November 6: PM Preschool Only

November 25: AM Preschool Option A........ December 18: PM Preschool Only
