In addition, please note the following change to the school calendar:

Last Friday, the Commissioner of Education released guidance that if school districts decided to work though April vacation that those days would count as school days.  Based on the fact that many families are at home and looking for the continuity of continuing with school, the School Committee voted last night to have teachers and students work through the April vacation.

Monday, April 20th is a state holiday (Patriots Day) and will not be a school day.  Tuesday, April 21st through Friday, April 24th will be school days.  The staff will post work for that week on Tuesday morning April 21st.  As a result of working through April vacation week, the last day of school, will be Friday, June 19th.

If this decision causes a hardship for your family please contact your building principal.
