The 2015-16 school year calendars have assigned snow make-up days to account for school days lost to inclement weather. The calendars schedule students to attend for 183 days rather than the state-mandated minimum of 180 days, so the first three days missed do not have to be made up.
As of Feb. 16, 2016, ACPS students have missed seven school days due to weather. This means that traditional calendar students will now be attending school on Friday, March 4 and Friday, April 22. Students have already made up one snow day on Feb. 5. Modified calendar students (Samuel W. Tucker Elementary School) will now attend classes on Friday, March 4, Friday, March 18 and Friday, May 13.
Any further snow days would need to be made up according to the below schedule:
TRADITIONAL CALENDAR SNOW MAKE-UP SCHEDULE
1-3 days: No make-up
Day 4: Make-up on Feb. 5
Day 5: Make-up on March 4
Day 6: No make-up
Day 7: Make-up on April 22
Day 8: No Make-up
MODIFIED CALENDAR (TUCKER) SNOW MAKE-UP SCHEDULE
1-3 days: No make-up
Day 4: Make-up on March 4
Day 5: Make-up on March 18
Day 6: No make-up
Day 7: Make-up on May 13
Day 8: No make-up
If nine or more days are missed, total instructional hours will be reviewed to determine if additional minutes need to be added, or if schools have sufficient instructional time to meet state requirements.
