2022-23 school year to begin August 29
The Gladstone School Board approved the calendar for the 2022-23 school year. Like this year, school will begin before Labor Day, but families will again have a four–day weekend to celebrate the holiday.
“Regular school attendance is essential to student success,” said Assistant Superinten-dent Jeremiah Patterson. “We are releasing the calendar early so families can plan trips at times when children won’t miss school.”
The new calendar is posted on the district website.
