Summer school reports and 2026 dates approved
Enrollment for the 2025 Summer Opportunities program was 1874 students. That is a decrease of 60 students from the 2024 program enrollment. A slight decrease was anticipated with the elimination of bussing offered by the district. Recommended dates for the 2026 program are June 22 through July 17 with July 3 off in celebration of the Fourth of July holiday. Summer Opportunities classes for 4K, 5K and first grade students will be moved back to Woodside Elementary School in 2026.
Planning parameters for the 2026-27 calendar approved
The following parameters will be used for the development of a 2026-27 school calendar draft:
- Maximizing student instructional time to exceed state requirements
- Scheduling student break times that best fit the academic needs of students, including spring break, which is typically during the last full week in March and a four-day weekend at Easter
- Maintaining days set aside for professional development and time for teachers to prepare and close out their classrooms
- Offering opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss student progress
- Maintaining 192 teacher contract days
The 2026-27 school year calendar will be brought back to the board for approval in December.
