Important Update for Murdock Middle & High School:
The district's request for a waiver for the five days missed by Murdock Middle and High Schools due to the building issue in November has been denied by the Commissioner. The makeup days for Murdock Middle and High students and staff will be as follows:
3 Days Made Up During February Break:
Wednesday February 21, Thursday February 22, and Friday February 23: 1/2 days for Murdock students (7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.) and full days for staff. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for students. Bus schedules will run as they normally do on 1/2 days for middle and high school students.
2 Days Made Up After the Last Day of School:
We will make up the other two days after the last day of school, and these days will be 1/2 days for Murdock Middle and High students and staff. Because the actual last day of school often changes, if we have a full snow day during the year, these two makeup days will be announced in the spring.
The district plans to ask again for a waiver of the 2 days to be made up after the last day of school. Updates will be provided as they are available.
