The original calendar contained six teacher workdays that were saved for weather make up. One additional mandatory teacher workday was saved for report cards and other required documentation. This workday is after the last student day due to new state testing regulations.
Haywood County Schools’ averages just over 8 missed student days each year due to inclement weather. Thus far, we have missed 7 days this school year. This is due in large part to abnormally low temperatures. The following is a list of adjustments we have made to accommodate for inclement weather:
- Friday, January 3 – used 1st saved teacher workday (June 6)
- Monday, January 6 – used 2nd saved teacher workday (June 9)
- Tuesday, January 7 – used 3rd teacher workday (June 10)
- Tuesday, January 21 – moved the floating teacher workday (between semesters) from January 15 to 21
- Wednesday, January 22 – made up on Saturday, January 25
- Tuesday, January 28 – not required to make up due to timing of the dismissal
- Wednesday, January 29 – used floating workday on March 5
- Thursday, January 30 – used floating workday on March 27
- Friday, January 31 – 4th used saved teacher workday (June 11)
The following are make up opportunities that remain available for the 2013-14 school year:
- Two saved teacher workdays (June 12-13)
- Saturday make up days
- Extending the calendar June 16-20
- Memorial Day Holiday May 26
- Spring Break April 21-25
- The mandatory floating workday that is after the last student day (originally scheduled on June 5th)
Currently, our last student day is Tuesday, June 10th.
