Does anyone know when the latest make up day is for the last snow day (last Wed.)? I understand the listed inclement weather dates have all been used up. I would love to know why it can't be made up this coming Monday, when despite all the snow days, this is still a day off for students.

Monday, March 15, which was a protected workday, will now be a student day. The protected workday will now be moved to Monday, June 15. Friday, June 18, will now be an optional workday. Spring break will remain April 5-9.

There is very little flexibility in the school schedule since there are mandatory start and end dates. If you want more flexibility, contact your state legislators.

I just needed to say the above statement again a little more loudly. I HATE the current school calendar. It has nothing to do w/ what works best for students and teachers.

I found out about the make-up day last night (Friday) from listening to the weekly update. We didn't get any emails about the make-day either. I think they could have done a little more to let parents know since the make-up day is the next Monday.

I imagine they can always do more but I would think parents with internet access would have marched straight to the CCS website to investigate the makeup day.

We have an automated phone system - I wish the district would use it more often. (I know there are families without phones, but there are a lot more without internet.) |

I had been checking the website, but was told that it would be a while before the make-up day was announced. I was just hoping for more notice than a Friday night. The automated system would have been a good way to announce the day.

You might want to check and see what number the school system has for you. I got the call Tues night and it was not from my kids schools, it was the county wide school call (plus an email too).
