2023-2024 Academic Calendar

  • The Pine-Richland School Board approved the 2023-2024 Academic Calendar at the combined school board meeting on December 12, 2022. While constructing a calendar, many factors are considered. Some of those factors include:
     

    • Addressing student & staff days (professional development and clerical time)
    • Balancing student days within each quarter and semester
    • Taking into consideration standardized and end-of-course assessments
    • Identifying a start date later in August
    • Balancing AM and PM kindergarten hours
    • Identifying the last day and graduation date, graduation rain date, planning for graduation practices and end-of-year activities
