Jan. 15, 2021: No school EC-12; ½ day professional learning and ½ day grade preparation
Feb. 25, 2021: No school EC-12; parent-teacher conferences
March 15-19: Spring Break
April 23, 2021: Professional learning day shifted from April 19 to April 23 (this means school will now be in session on April 19)
