The 2012-13 Calendar Committee has created three calendar options to be reviewed by community, staff, parents, and students.\u00a0 Each calendar has slight differences related to holidays and professional learning days for teachers.<\/p>\n

Due to the restraints of the calendar for 2012-13, graduation will occur prior to the last day of school.\u00a0 Graduating seniors will take exams prior to May 26 and will not be required to attend after May 24.<\/p>\n

Please review the following calendars and keep in mind that the following requirements must be met when offering alternative suggestions.<\/p>\n

Texas Education Code 25.0811: First day of instruction. (a) A school district may not begin instruction for students for a school year before the fourth Monday in August unless the district operates a year-round system under Section 25.085.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2012 Start Date – August 27, 2012 (fourth Monday)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2013 Graduation Date \u2013 May 26, 2013<\/p>\n

\u00b7 175 days of instruction for students<\/p>\n

\u00b7 State Waiver for 5 professional learning days that must occur after August 27 and before the last day of instruction. (If we decrease these days, we have to increase student instructional days. Instructional days + State Waivers Days must equal 180 days)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Total 187 work days for campus staff<\/p>\n

\u00b7 4 professional learning days prior to the start of school (These are different from the state waiver days.)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 3 staff work days (prior to the start of school and\/or during the school year)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2 inclement weather make-up days (second semester)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Holidays\/Break<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Labor Day<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Thanksgiving<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Christmas<\/p>\n
