Martin County Schools is looking for your feedback related to the 2020-21 school calendar. Things to consider:
· The draft calendar is called a Year Round Calendar, but it does not function like a Year Round School.
· The draft calendar start date for students is August 10th and the end date is May 28th.
· The draft calendar provides for High School students to complete 1st semester exams before Christmas break.
· The draft calendar helps to better align Martin County Schools’ academic calendar with Martin Community College’s academic calendar.
· The draft calendar provides 3 full weeks off during the Christmas break for students and professional development days for staff.
· The draft calendar provides Martin County Schools with 11 weeks during the summer to offer a variety of programs to our students such as academic remediation, academic enrichment, summer camps, and school transition programs. The traditional calendar would provide 10 weeks.
· The draft calendar provides the same parent teacher conferences, holidays, and breaks throughout the year to our students and staff that the traditional calendar has provided.
· The draft calendar does require students and staff to start school 2 weeks earlier for this year.
· All schools would operate on the same calendar.
