As you know, in the span of just one week (on January 9 and 12, 2024), school closures were implemented in response to the forecasted weather. As a result of these school closures, we want to bring your attention to two points of information: * At this time, the Flex Day scheduled for Friday, April 26 will be an instructional day for Homestead High School students only. Our elementary and middle schools still have enough instructional time built into their calendars to use the Flex Day as a No School Day for students and an Inservice Day for staff. If future inclement weather days occur before April 26, we will re-calculate the instructional time at the elementary and middle school levels and provide an update as needed.* Should future inclement weather days occur at any point this school year, Homestead High School will need to make up instructional time in addition to the April 26 Flex Day. To do this without extending the school calendar any further into June, Homestead has revisited a plan to implement the use of virtual learning days. More information will be provided regarding virtual learning days at the high school level as planning is finalized.As you know, in the span of just one week (on January 9 and 12, 2024), school closures were implemented in response to the forecasted weather.
