School Calendar 2011-2012 School Year

Adopted by the School Board December 7, 2010
Updated September 21, 2011
PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION

The 2011-2012 school year calendar differs from past years by eliminating adjusted dismissal days at the end of the first semester. In past school calendars, these days were used for high school exams. With the start of the 2011-2012 school year, the adjusted dismissal days are eliminated and high school assessments will be administered during the regular block – one each day. The complete high school mid-year course assessment schedule is posted at the bottom of this page.
