ACPSD MAKE-UP DAY (Hurricane Irma)
Description
Monday, October 23, 2017, has been approved as a make-up day for instructional time lost on September 11, 2017, due to the remnants of Hurricane Irma passing through our area. This approved make-up day was already designated as one of the District's first two "weather" make-up days on the 2017-18 school year calendar.
Section 59-1-425(B) of the 1976 Code, as amended by Act 260 of 2006, reads: “(B) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, all school days missed because of snow, extreme weather conditions, or other disruptions requiring schools to close must be made up. All school districts shall designate annually at least three days within their school calendars to be used as make-up days in the event of these occurrences.
Parent-Teacher Conference Day was previously scheduled for Monday, October 23. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held later in the afternoon/early evening on both Monday, October 23 and Thursday, October 26. Elementary Schools will hold Parent-Teacher Conferences from 3-6 p.m, Middle Schools from 3:30-6:30 p.m., and High Schools from 3:45-6:45 p.m. Schools will communicate Parent-Teacher Conference options directly with their parents.
