| 2007-2008 School Year - Important Dates |
| The Seattle School Board has approved the 2007-2008 school calendar. The calendar was developed and negotiated in cooperation with all of the bargaining groups representing Seattle Public Schools employees. The calendar is structured to provide a full week of instruction following Spring break and before the beginning of the spring WASL testing period. The calendar also provides specific dates that will be used as make-up days in the event that inclement weather necessitates school closures. |
