There may still be a few weeks left in the current school year, but students and parents in the Perry Community School District now know what next year will look like.
The School Board approved the 2015-2016 calendar at their most recent meeting. Classes for first through twelfth grade students will start on Monday, August 24th. Kindergarteners will begin on the 26th and pre-school classes start September 1st.
Superintendent Lynn Ubben says this is slightly different from past years, since the waivers are not being granted like they used to be.
“We typically like to start on a Wednesday if we can, but since it was bumped later into the 24th, that would be the change.”
Right now, the last day of the next year is scheduled for May 25th, which is a Wednesday. Ubben says if they need to make up days because of weather cancellations, the first two will be scheduled Thursday and Friday of that last full week in May.
