The year may have started late for kids in the Kent School District, but at least it should still end on time (providing there are no snow days, of course).<\/p>\n
The Kent School District Tuesday released a revised student calender for the 2009-2010 school year putting back the 10 days missed due to the Kent Education Association strike that moved the first day of school from Aug. 31 to Sept. 15.<\/p>\n
The majority of days inserted back into the calendar shorten the three main breaks through the year.<\/p>\n
Winter vacation was shortened by two days, with Dec. 21 and 22 being turned into school days.<\/p>\n
In February, the planned break for Presidents’ Week has been turned into a four-day weekend with teachers and students now returning to class Feb. 17 instead of Feb. 22 as originally planned.<\/p>\n
Spring Break was also changed to a two-day break, instead of a week as originally planned. Students and teachers will be expected to be in school April 7 instead of returning April 12 from a full week off.<\/p>\n
In addition, two no-school days, Jan. 27 and March 5, were changed back into classroom days.<\/p>\n
The school year is still scheduled to end June 18, with June 21 and 22 set aside as make-up days in case of any other closures.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The revised student calendar is below:<\/p>\n
