Guidelines for Two-Hour Early Closing on the day before Thanksgiving Holiday

  • Half-day kindergarten (a.m. and p.m.) will be on a Monday early closing schedule.

  • Head Start (FECEP), preschool, Alternative Learning Center (ALC) and Summit Program schedules will be modified individually and coordinated between transportation and program staff.

  • All other classes will dismiss two hours earlier than the regular Tuesday-Friday closing schedule. (The reason we don't put full-day kindergarten classes and grades 1-6 on the Monday early closing schedule is that it would conflict with the middle and high school bus runs.)

  • Limited pre-approved school activities are allowed (i.e. athletic scrimmages); however, all regular late bus runs are canceled.

  • The transportation office will be contacting each school to work out individual issues and exact pick-up times for all students. Although the intent is to dismiss two hours early, minor adjustments may need to be made at individual schools.

  • Afternoon Career and Technical Education and afternoon academy courses are canceled for all students transported to high school academies, specialized programs, or nonschool-based locations.

  • Recreation programs and community activities are NOT canceled.

  • SACC programs will be available for students when classes are dismissed and will run until 6:15 p.m. or until the last child is picked up.
