Spring Break in District 196
Spring Break 2024 - March 25-29
Hello, everyone!
Just a quick message to wish you all a safe and relaxing spring break! Whether you're off on an adventure or enjoying some downtime at home, we hope you have a fantastic time.
During the break, the school building will be open for sports practices, but our faculty and staff will not be available.
School resumes on Monday, April 1st.
We hope our students catch up on rest and make the most of this well-deserved break. We look forward to hearing all about their experiences when they return on April 1st and that they'll be refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the school year with renewed energy.
See you soon!
