* The
end of the first semester may be adjusted, based upon the need to cancel
school.
**This calendar provides for
up to five cancellations during the year.
Each day so canceled will be deducted from
the days included
in the planned calendar as indicated above.
Also, for each of the five cancellations not used,
the final day of
school will be a day earlier.
Should it become necessary to cancel more
than five school days, any days in excess of five will be made up by
adding days to
the end of this school year. If the
school year, as projected, is not able to be completed by
June 30, extra days will be made up during
the April vacation. Thus, days would be
made up as follows:
One day April
24 Three
days April 24, 23, and 22
Two days April
24 and 23 Four days April 24, 23, 22, and 21
