Based upon recent guidance provided by the Arkansas Department of Education, school districts now have the option to make up snow days by submitting a waiver request to modify the current 2023-2024 school calendar from a traditional calendar (178 six-hour days required) to an alternate calendar (minimum of 1,068 instructional hours).
Rather than making up missed days following Memorial Day as planned in the current traditional calendar, our district plans to change to an alternate (hours) calendar that utilizes extra instructional minutes built into each school day for the remainder of the second semester to meet the required 1,068 hours. This means that no additional days will need to be added to the calendar for students in grades K-12 and the last day of school will be Friday, May 24, 2024. In order to not only make up the two days missed but also bank additional instructional time for potential future inclement weather days, each building will push back dismissal 5 minutes starting on Monday, January 29, 2024.
At this time, Pre-K students and staff will still make up the missed days on May 28th and May 29th due to the ABC funding requirement to have 178 student contact days. However, the state is looking into possible options for ABC programs to align with their local school district’s plan. When our district receives additional guidance from the state, updated information will be provided.
Thank you for your understanding as our district makes these adjustments based on the new options available to meet state requirements and make the most of instructional time.
