The following letter was sent to families regarding a District Calendar Update -
March 16, 2022
Dear GBAPS Families & Staff:
On Monday, March 14, the Board of Education approved making modifications to the 2021-22 calendar, which resulted in the April 1 and May 20 Early Release Days becoming No School/Recess Days*. The calendar change is an acknowledgement of the challenges created by the pandemic for students and staff.
Mental health during the pandemic has been a concern brought forward by many of our students, families, and staff during these past two years. With the relatively mild winter, the District has not had to use its two snow days this year. This provides an opportunity for the Board to grant some additional time off for students, and to offer staff dedicated time to develop high quality instruction and add flexibility to their work day.
Similar to other No School/Recess Days, there will be no Food Service meal distribution on those days. Scheduled co-curricular activities will proceed as normal.
Due to this change, should the District have an inclement weather day, May 6th will be the make-up day. If we have no inclement weather days, May 6th will continue to be a scheduled Recess Day.
We appreciate your flexibility and understanding.
Sincerely,
Green Bay Area Public Schools
