Reminder - April 20 - Make up day
Due to the bad weather we had in January and the two school days missed, we will need to make up one of the two days.
Friday, April 20, 2018, is a designated bad-weather make-up day on our 2017-18 Academic Calendar and will be activated as the make-up day for January 16. This will be a regular school day for all students and staff.
A second student make-up day is not required due to the fact that our schools have sufficient minutes built into their master schedules to meet the state’s requirement of 75,600 minutes for an academic year.
As always, we thank you for your continued support of SBISD. Again, April 20, 2018, will now be a regular school day.
