When planning the school calendar, the district must take into consideration state laws that dictate the number of days students must attend (174), Institute Days (4), Parent-Teacher Conference Days (2) and five emergency days. Last year the District moved five emergency days to the end of the school year.  The reason for this was two-fold. First of all scattering the days throughout the week breaks up the stream of instruction.  These interruptions are not conducive to student learning and retention.  Also, the district knew that contractors would need immediate access to buildings as soon as school was over for Comprehensive Plan construction projects.  This summer, Plainfield, Terrace, and Central will undergo major toilet room renovations.  Next summer, major renovations will take place at four schools.
