School Calendar 2.0

There have been many conversations about a proposed new calendar for all schools in Chittenden County.  From our district blog,

"Essentially, the revised calendar would mean that students would return to school a week earlier in August, leave a school a week later in June, and have additional vacation time—with optional remedial instruction—scheduled throughout the year. The driving idea behind the proposed calendar is to minimize learning regression over a long summer recess while also allowing for additional time throughout the year for students and teachers to rejuvenate."

As families in Chittenden County, it is important that you are informed about this.  Look for the memo that went home in your child's folder for additional information and meeting times about the new calendar.
