First Semester Extended by a Week
Due to the extreme weather and loss of school days last week, FWPS is extending the first semester by one week. Please plan for the following:
Semester 1 ends Friday, Feb. 3rd
Semester 2 begins Monday, Feb. 6th
Report card due date is Feb. 6th
Report cards to be mailed home the week of Feb. 13th.
Friday, January 27, is still a non-student day.
The day originally designated as semester break -- Friday, January 27 -- has been built into the district's calendar for around 15 years. A variety of professional activities are scheduled in our schools for this day, making it difficult to change this non-student day to match the new end of semester day. In addition, making a change in the calendar on such short notice could create additional problems for staff and parents.
