Eastern High School Calendars

The proposed calendars have the 11th and 12th graders back on schedule when they return from winter break and the 9th and 10th graders are back on track when they return from spring break -- we kept the calendars as closely aligned as possible, given that the 9th/10th graders have three extra days to make up. The Eastern graduation date is June 9th, so 12th graders cannot make up any days after June 8th.

Please know that these calendars were developed with input from the EHS staff and also met with approval from Mark Jewell, president of the GCAE -- some vacation days are being moved, which require a minimum 14-day notice to staff. Also, at the school staff's request, the pre-Thanksgiving workday and post-winter break workdays have been eliminated.

If you should have questions regarding this item, please contact District Relations at 370-8386, prior to the meeting.
