In the student handbook, it states that extending scheduled school vacations or taking additional vacations during the school year is against school policy. This calendar is published in advance to inform parents so vacations can be planned without disrupting learning. Also, please be advised that a failure results in mandatory attendance at summer school for five weeks. Students may not miss any days in summer school.
