Kalispell Public Schools approve calendar
Kalispell Public Schools calendar for the 2017-18 school year has been approved by the school board.
A draft of the 2019-20 calendar was also approved.
In the 2017-18 school year, the first day of school for students will be Aug. 30 and the last day will be June 8, 2018.
A professional development day on Nov. 22 will precede Thanksgiving break Nov. 23-24 and there will be no school for students. Winter break begins Dec. 22 and goes through Jan. 2, 2018.
Students are also out of school on March 26, 2018, a professional development day, which kicks off spring break from March 27 through March 30. Discussions had been made about moving spring break into April, but the decision to continue scheduling it in March was planned around when the semester ends and spring sports schedules according to Tracy Scott, district director of human resources.
There will be no school for professional development on Oct. 19-20, Nov. 22 and in 2018, on Jan. 15 and March 26. Early-out days for students are also scheduled for professional development on Sept. 27, Oct. 25, Nov. 8, Dec. 15 and in 2018 on Jan. 19, Feb. 21, March 7, May 23 and June 8.
