Snow make-up day scheduled for Friday, Jan. 27
Seattle Public Schools will hold classes on Friday, Jan. 27 as a snow make-up day.
No school was scheduled for next Friday, a professional development day for staff, but instead will be used as a make-up day for one of the three snow days this week, as outlined in the 2011-12 school calendar.
A determination on making up the additional snow days, most likely at the end of the school year, will be decided next week. Professional development for next Friday will also be rescheduled.
“It is important to get our students back in the classroom next week,” said Dr. Susan Enfield, Interim Superintendent. “We know some families may have made out-of-town plans for next Friday, and we apologize for any inconvenience this causes.”
There will still be a three-hour early dismissal on Tuesday, Jan. 24 because of a scheduled furlough day for teachers and staff represented by the Seattle Education Association (SEA). That day cannot be used as a snow make-up day.
