Calendar Survey
On Wednesday, September 20th, Dr. Gallt sent an email with a survey link asking for stakeholder feedback on behalf of the district calendar committee. The committee sets dates for the school calendar including start-of-year, end-of-year, holidays beyond those required at the federal or state level, institute days, and more. Last year the committee developed a number of questions that we have used as the basis for a survey, and we would like your feedback to further inform our decision-making for the 2024-25 school year and beyond. Please note that when building a school calendar there are several competing interests and not all options may be viable together - at the end of the survey there is an opportunity to rank questions which will help us prioritize.
Please look for Dr. Gallt’s email and respond to the survey before October 13th. Thank you!
Red Ribbon Week
This year, we will be continuing our efforts to support students in making safe, healthy choices - including choices related to substance use. As part of these efforts, we will be participating in Red Ribbon Week during the week of October 23rd. Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign to raise awareness related to substance use issues; parents can find more information about activities for the week HERE.
