Shorter days before Thanksgiving and winter break

November 25 is an attendance day with early dismissal before the November 26–30 Thanksgiving break. Classes resume December 1. December 23 also remains a school day, followed by winter time off December 24–January 3 and a January 4 return.

Arrange afternoon care on the shortened days separately from full-day care during the breaks. The earliest release, 10:30 a.m. for STEM, should not be used for an elementary sibling who leaves at noon.

Act 80 closures and the final week

January 28–29 are consecutive Act 80 days without students. March 25 is another full Act 80 closure, connecting to March 26–29 spring break. Students are scheduled back March 30.

June 8–10 are three consecutive shortened school days. Graduation is also listed June 10, but a ceremony date does not provide a ceremony time or replace the school-level student dismissal schedule.
