Important End of School Year Update
I had read this puzzling schedule for the last couple of days of school and wondered about it. Here's an update from SPS on those last days (most important for high school parents and students):
After receiving feedback from schools about the difficulties surrounding early dismissal next week, we are making changes. Typically, all of our schools have the same last day, but given our November snow days, we need to extend High School until Thursday, which is causing transportation issues.
On Tuesday, June 21:
· All elementary, K-8 and Middle Schools will have a one-hour early dismissal.
· Chief Sealth High School and West Seattle High School will have a one-hour early dismissal.
· Aki Kurose Middle School will release on normal schedule and NOT have an early dismissal.
· Our eight other high schools will also release on normal schedule and NOT have an early dismissal.
On Thursday, June 23:
· All middle and high schools will have a one-hour early dismissal.
We apologize for the late notice and confusion this has caused your staff and families. We hope this revised schedule, which was coordinated with schools by our Executive Directors of Schools and transportation department, meets your school’s needs.
For our middle school and high school buildings, we ask that you please notify your students and families about this change today or tomorrow. The District will send out a reminder via a School Messenger call next week.
Comments
One would think, you know, that since the snow happened in November, and it is now JUNE that transportation and district administrators had some time to figure this one out. But perhaps I am assuming they think ahead? (I know, cheap shot)
