Updated 26-27 School Calendar (Monthly Delayed Start)
Dear Parents and Guardians,
At the April 13th School Board meeting, a new initiative was approved to further enhance the safety, technology, and instructional quality of our schools. Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, our district will implement a monthly 2-hour delayed start for students to provide dedicated professional development time for our staff.
Why are we doing this?
This dedicated time allows our teachers and staff to:
Enhance School Safety:Â Conduct regular, hands-on safety drills with all staff and review policies/procedures.
Improve Student Outcomes:Â Collaborate across grade levels on literacy and data-driven instruction.
The Schedule at a Glance
These 2-hour delays will occur on the first Monday of each month, with an adjustment for September to accommodate the Labor Day holiday. See the attached calendar.
Scheduled Dates for 2026–2027:
September 14, 2026Â (Second Monday due to Labor Day)
