CESU #12
2015-16 School Calendar
On Monday, March 16th,
the CESU Governing Board approved the 2015-16 school calendar. There
are a few changes we wanted to share with you. First, Labor Day is very
late, so it feels as though school is starting earlier than normal. This
is due to the way the days of the month fall.
Second, it is the mission of our
school district to engage all learners. In the next year, we will be
working on developing personal learning plans for students and personalizing
our instruction so each child is challenged and supported. Some of our
changes require new learning for our teachers. To assure the very best
educational delivery, it is vital that we allow time for staff
training.
You will see on the calendar a
number of two-hour late start days on the second Wednesday of each month (Sept
9; Oct 14; Nov 11; Dec 9; Jan 13; Feb 10; March 9; April 13; May 11). On
these days, our staff will be engaged in professional development and training
to better serve student needs. On these mornings, the school day and
morning bus pick up will start exactly two hours later than the normal
schedule. The in-school day will be adjusted slightly.
We will be working over the next
several months to brainstorm possible steps to mitigate challenges this
calendar change may cause families.
We wanted to make you aware of
the changes in our 2015-16 school calendar and look forward to our continued
work together. Please let us know if you have any questions.
