Early Release Wednesdays: Northshore School Board Approves 2013-2014 Calendar
The first day of school is Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The School Board has approved the 2013-14 school calendar. The first day of school is Tuesday, Sept. 3, according to a post on the Northshore School District Facebook page.
The post said:
Changes have been made to the calendar to continue to improve quality instruction and overall student achievement while maintaining student instructional hours above the state requirements.
The district will restore five waiver days and return to a 180-day school calendar, extend the school day by 5 minutes, start secondary schools 10 minutes later and implement a weekly 1-hour and 35-minute early release on Wednesdays to support better instructional outcomes.
