SCHEDULE CHANGE

Recently, CCSD changed their spring break to accommodate the new CRT testing schedule. We are thrilled that the State has moved CRT testing to later in the year, but this means that our spring break has changed:

Spring Break

April 2-9

School on Friday, April 13

There is one other additional calendar change, which was my mistake. The State of Nevada is celebrating Nevada Day on Friday, Oct. 28. We will have school on Monday, Oct. 31 which means NO SCHOOL Friday, November 4th.

I apologize for the confusion, but we are trying to stay on the same schedule as CCSD for our families who have students in both the district and OA.
