Timberwolves and Families:
As we begin the fourth quarter, the district has determined the last day of school for students for 2022-23. The last week of school will occur as published, assuming there are no unforeseen circumstances causing us to cancel school. This means staff and families can plan on the last day for students in grades K-11 will be a half-day on May 26. Students in the early childhood programs will have their last day on May 25.
High school finals will occur May 24 – 26 with building principals communicating the specific schedules to their school families and students at a later date. For more information, or to subscribe to the district calendar, visit www.bluevalleyk12.org/calendar.
