The District 622 School Board approved the 2023-2024 school calendar at the December 13, 2022, school board meeting. Please see some highlights of the 23-24 school calendar below.
Family Calendar
We now have Pre-K programs in all of our elementary schools and will no longer have a separate family calendar for early learning. All early learning dates have been included in our traditional school district calendar.
First days of school - Staggered start dates
We will begin the new school year with staggered start dates for specific grade levels. Like most of our neighboring school districts, this staggered start will allow transition grades and new students the opportunity to begin the school year with more focused support.
The first days of school for the 2023-2024 school year are below.
Tuesday, September 5: Grades 1-6 and Grade 9 only
Wednesday, September 6: Kindergarten and Grades 7-8 and 10-12
Monday, September 11: Early Learning
High School Testing Day - April (Exact date still TBD by the State of MN)
Each April, a day is scheduled for high school students to take the MCA (10th grade) and ACT (11th grade). The ACT has strict test environment guidelines, so students in grades 9 and 12 will have a remote learning day on the high school testing date in April. Once the state confirms the testing date, your child’s high school will communicate that date with you.
