District 112 Amends School Calendar to Replace Lost Days

District 112 students will have to stay in school longer in June than expected and will not get two planned early dismissal days in order to make up for lost school days when buildings were closed for bad weather.

Below is information from the school's announcement:

Calendar Impact

The number of school cancellations to date has inconvenienced families and staff, and has disrupted instructional time.  Under state law, the annual board-approved school calendar includes five emergency days at the end of the school year.  To date, all schools with the exception of Oak Terrace and Green Bay have now used five days.   Those days will be made up on the five days in June that were already designated as emergency days.  Additionally, in order to make up for some lost instructional time, two planned early release dates on February 5 and April 29 will be eliminated. Please note the revised calendar dates:

Amended early release dates:

February 5:  Full-day of school (no early release)

April 29:  Full-day of school (no early release)

Last day of school:

Oak Terrace Kindergarten and Green Bay Early Childhood:  Tuesday, June 10

All other kindergarten students:  Wednesday, June 11

Oak Terrace grades 1 to 5: Thursday, June 12

All schools Grades 1 to 7, except Oak Terrace:   Friday, June 13

Note:  8th graders will not be affected.  Graduation will remain Monday, June 2

Possibility of future emergency days:

There is still plenty of winter ahead of us.  In the event that additional emergency days are necessary,  we will consider using other alternatives, including following state procedures to request approval for a waiver as an Act-of-God day. Districts are not required to make up approved Act of God days.
