1st Posting - Survey: Coordinating District 109 & 113 Calendars
District 113 (Deerfield High School) is considering future changes to their calendar in order to move first semester finals before winter break. Any changes that District 113 chooses to make would not take effect until the start of the 2018-2019 school year; approximately 20 months from now. One of the options District 113 is considering would move the start date of school earlier in August (for the 2018-2019 school year, the exact date would be August 13, 2018). Other options under their review include unbalanced semesters and no change to the traditional calendar. Parents of students at Deerfield High School should have the opportunity to take a survey from District 113 that clearly articulates potential calendar shifts.
Historically, when the school calendars are created, District 109 closely follows the District 113 calendar, which includes having similar start dates for students. However, given that we do not administer final exams like the high school, we are interested in gathering District 109 opinions on if or how we should adjust our calendar in the event of a significant change in the Deerfield High School calendar.
Please click to take a very short survey about the District 109 calendar. The survey closes February 1.
