Additional Work Day/Training Day Added to District Calendar
Thursday, February 2nd has been added to the 2022-23 school calendar as an additional work day/training day:
- For certified staff, this will be a WORK DAY. The district will be participating in a systems performance review, and one part of that process will involve teachers’ submissions of sample assignments, student work, etc. Teachers will have the 2nd to complete these tasks.
- All classified staff WILL report to work on the 2nd. Supervisors may use this as a training day. This would also be a great time for EA training.
