Do You Know...the first two-hour delay for students for staff PD is next week!
Click here for the 2018-19 SEarCH school calendar.
Just a quick reminder about the 2018-19 school calendars. This year, there is a change to the 1/2 day district-wide PD days and the addition of two 'delayed start' individualized school PD days.
On December 7 and April 12, instead of it being an early release day for students, the students would come to school for the second half of the day. For example, elementary schools would BEGIN their instructional day at 11:00 am. The morning would be district-wide PD, but would be held at each school.
On September 14 (next week) and then again on March 15, the PD will be individualized, based on each school's specific needs, and will be held at the school. For example, one school may need PD on MTSS but another school may need PD on classroom management. For these two days, we would operate on a two-hour delay for students.
Please remind your students and their families. We also imagine that there will be many questions about the delayed starts and 1/2 days for students in the afternoon. Please help us explain the need for PD and how the change will affect the schedule this year.
