Saturday Make Up Day Press Release
Tuesday, March 25, 2014 is a “closed” or “no day” for all students and all staff. Weather permitting, school will be made up on Saturday, March 29, 2014 from 8:00 a.m. until noon. The school district understands that some families and some schools have scheduled activities on Saturdays. When parents feel students cannot attend on Saturday, the school district will make every reasonable effort to excuse the absence.
Since Saturday make up days are fairly rare, we want to provide staff with some important reminders. For contract, payroll and Saturday supervision purposes, employees should do the following:
- Ten-month employees (certified, licensed, classified and hourly) should NOT come to work (unless directed to do so by his or her principal/director). These folks need to work on the Saturday make up day.
- Eleven and twelve month employees will NOT work today and plan to work on the designated Saturday make up day.
- If you are an eleven or twelve month employee who is also a classified or hourly paid employee, you should NOT work six days in one week unless you are specifically asked to do so by your principal or supervisor.
- As always principals and other administrators may work as often as needed to address critical matters.
Staff should check with their principal, director or supervisor if they have questions that are not answered in this communication.
Haywood County Schools’ averages just over 8 missed student days each year due to inclement weather. Thus far, we have missed 13 days this school year. If Tuesday, March 25 can be made up on Saturday, March 29, the last student day will be Friday, June 13, 2014.
