Message from the Superintendent:

Make Up Snow Days

Good morning,

To say the last 7 weeks of weather has been crazy would still be an understatement. We have not had a week without a late start, early dismissal or canceled classes for the last seven weeks. We are all hoping we are able to find some stability and get back to a normal schedule as we move forward. The purpose of the email is to communicate how we will make up missed hours. 

As of today, we have missed 9 school days and have had 17 hours of late starts or early dismissals. This has brought our total student contact hours to 1055.5 of the 1080 minimum required by the State of Iowa.

To help recoup our hours, we will use the following as student make-up days:

• March 11

• March 29

• May 24, 28, 29, 30, 31

This will get us to 1101 hours for the year. Any more days missed will be added to the end of the year. We understand some of you may have planned to be gone on a few of these days, please be sure to communicate as soon as possible with your teacher/school. 

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Erik Smith, Superintendent
