Parent Feedback Requested - School Calendar

We are about to begin the process of planning the 2026-2027 school calendar and your feedback is an important part of the conversation. The district is exploring a few options to better balance instructional time, breaks, and opportunities for family time throughout the year.

This short survey will help us understand your preferences and priorities. Your input will guide the development of a calendar that best supports student learning, staff needs, and family schedules.
