We had previously been told by DESE that we would have to make up the two full days that we took off after Thanksgiving break for COVID issues. After discussing it with them on the number of hours we have been in school, we no longer need to make up both of the COVID days. We will be able to meet state statutory requirements by attending school on Monday, May 24. That will be the final day of school and it will be an early release day. Summer School will still start on May 27.
