May 5, 2017

On Wednesday, May 3, the Middleburgh Central School District Board of Education approved the district calendar for the 2017-18 school year. The calendar is now available for download online (PDF); if you encounter difficulties accessing this file, please contact the district to have the document provided in an alternative format.

Following the calendar changes that were necessitated by this year’s severe winter weather, the administrative team worked carefully to stay ahead of potential calendar changes that may be needed in the next school year.

March 30, 2018 (Good Friday) and Spring Recess (April 2-6, 2018) have been set as contingent recess days. Should the school need to use more than the state-allowed number of emergency closure days next year, the district will provide an update to all families as soon as possible about which of the contingent recess days would become full instructional days to make up for any shortfall in instructional time. If the district does not go over its allotted number of emergency closure days, these days will remain recess days for all students. The district will keep families up-to-date on any calendar changes throughout 2017-18.

One-Hour Early Release Days will continue to be held throughout next school year. Please pay careful attention to these dates as they are marked on the calendar, as some fall on the second Wednesday of a month, while others fall on the third Wednesday of a month. These early-release days have provided staff members with critical professional development time throughout 2016-17, and the administrative team is excited to provide these opportunities for staff members again next year to continue their positive work in curriculum, learning targets, other activities that help enhance academics across MCS.

If families have any questions regarding the 2017-18 calendar, please reach out to the district office at 827-3625.
