Academic Calendar
The Pine-Richland School Board approved the 2024-2025 Academic Calendar at the combined school board meeting on December 11, 2023. The calendar was updated on October 7, 2024. The updated calendar is linked on this page and reflected below.
While constructing a calendar, many factors are considered. Some of those factors include:
- Addressing student and 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
