School Calendar

Students must have end of course tests for 1st semester courses before Christmas.

Why is this important?

Scores on End-of-Course tests would improve if these tests were administered before the Christmas break. 2-3 weeks without instruction results in lower scores. Our schools are graded on these grades. We are now ranked 40th in the country. That's not acceptable.
