Snow Days Mean Extended School Year in Plainfield
Report cards also got delayed by the winter weather.
Winter break got a little bit longer for District 202 students, thanks to snow and extreme cold this week. Now, the school year will be a bit longer too, so students can make up the time lost.
According to the district, the new, tentative (assuming there are no more snow days) last day of school is now Wednesday, May 28. Originally, the last day was tentatively set for Friday, May 23.
In addition, Friday, May 23 and Tuesday, May 27 will be full attendance days. The tentative last day, May 28, will be a half day.
In its Education Partners newsletter, the district stressed that the dates may change, noting, "There is a lot of winter left."
Parents should also expect school report cards, which were originally set go out this week, to be a bit delayed.
Elementary and middle school report cards will go home on Monday, Jan. 13, and high school report cards will be sent to parents on Friday, Jan. 17.
