Spring Ahead

We have certainly had one of the toughest winters that I can recall.  It is a rare school year in which we are forced to cancel school fifteen times.  So that you understand where we are with our calendar, originally our last student day was May 30, 2014.  Because we missed fifteen days of school, our last student day will be June 4, 2014. We were able to do this because the IDOE granted a waiver for three days, we were allowed to use three days as eLearning Days, Maconaquah Schools’ Board of Education approved the use of the first week of our two-week Spring Break as five make-up days, which leaves three days to be made up in June, 2014.
