Eudora students will stick around an extra day before Winter Break begins but won’t have an extra Monday in May for the 2016-2017 school year.

The Eudora School Board approved a first draft of an academic calendar that will close school for a teacher workday on Dec. 22, with break officially beginning Dec. 23 and classes resuming Jan. 5, 2017. The last full day of school will be May 12, 2017, which is a Friday.

The second option, a revision suggested by the district’s calendar committee, would have dismissed students for a teacher workday on Dec. 21 and break beginning Dec. 22, but students would have returned for one final day on May 15, 2017, a Monday.

The school year will begin for grades 1 through 9 with an early dismissal day on Aug. 16, and the first full day for grades 1-12 will be Aug. 17. Kindergarten half-days will begin Aug. 18, with full days beginning Aug. 24.

Spring Break will begin for all Eudora students March 10, 2017, when teachers will have a workday. Classes will resume March 20, 2017.
