Important Information Regarding Inclement Weather Make-Up Days
- You will notice the dates throughout the year that are outlined in purple on the academic calendar. Those are dates that could be used as inclement weather make-up days IF the district has to close school (no eLearning) due to weather prior to any of those dates occurring on the calendar. This approach to making up school closure days throughout the year is most beneficial to students rather than having all days stacked at the end of our school calendar.
- While all scenarios for inclement weather cannot be provided in this communication, here are two examples of how built-in make-up days could be utilized:
- If we had to close (no eLearning) for a day in mid-September for a hurricane, we would be able to use Friday, October 31 as an inclement weather make-up day rather than a school holiday to recover the school closure day.
- If we were closed (no eLearning) March 4-6, 2026 (3 days) for an ice storm, then March 13 would be a make-up day rather than a PD day. The days at the end of the school calendar would also be utilized to complete the remaining make-up days and to meet the state’s requirement of 10 professional/work days for teachers.
- Dates that could be impacted by make-up instructional days: October 31, November 24 & 25, February 13, March 13, May 22, and May 26-28.
