📅 Calendar Changes Starting NEXT School Year
Starting September 2024:
- Elimination of weekly early release on Wednesdays which is used for staff professional development. School hours will be the same Monday through Friday.
- Monthly full-day recesses (no school) for students will be added to allow professional development time for staff. These additional no school days are listed as 'Professional Development Days - No School', as shown on the 2024-2025 calendar.
- Virutal learning days will be utilized instead of emergency snow make-up days. The first snow day of each school year will be a day off for students and staff, and any subsequent snow days will be virtual learning days that do not need to be made up.
⭐ SASD Difference Makers
“Ms. Miller always has a positive attitude. Earlier this year, she took over as the advisor for Educators Rising, a club I am very involved in. She has been so lenient and adapting as the year goes on. Every time I enter her room I have a smile on my face because Ms. Miller’s room is comforting, and she puts her student's needs first. Everyone needs a Ms. Miller.” -Brooke Hess, North High School student
Thank you for all that you do, Amber!
