## Adjustments to the School Calendar

2020年世界杯比赛时间As shown, this calendar includes five (5) emergency closure make-up days.  These five (5) emergency closure make-up days include the Presidents’ Day holiday and the Easter Monday holiday.  If one or more emergency closures occur prior to February 15, 2021, Presidents’ Day and April 5, 2021, Easter Monday, will become school days for students and teachers with all school system offices open.  The re-designation of these holidays as student days is dependent upon Maryland State Board of Education approval. If approval is not given, it may be necessary to add emergency closure make-up days at the end of the school year.

2020年世界杯比赛时间If no emergency closure days occur, the school year will end for students on Friday, June 18, 2021, and the Assessment Days, the last day of classes for Preschool-3 and Pre-K, and the last day for teachers will be re-designated accordingly. 

2020年世界杯比赛时间Should emergency closures occur, the make-up days will be:

Emergency Closure #1 (if one emergency closure occurs prior to February 15, 2021) – Make-up Day will be the Presidents’ Day holiday (pending Maryland State Board of Education approval). If approval is not given, it may be necessary to add emergency closure make-up days at the end of the school year.

2020年世界杯比赛时间Emergency Closure #2 (if two emergency closures occur prior to April 5, 2021) – Make-up Day will be Easter Monday holiday (pending Maryland State Board of Education approval).  If approval is not given, it may be necessary to add emergency closure make-up days at the end of the school year.

Emergency Closure #3 Make-up Day will be Monday, June 21, 2021

2020年世界杯比赛时间Emergency Closure #4 Make-up Day will be Tuesday, June 22, 2021

2020年世界杯比赛时间Emergency Closure #5 Make-up Day will be Wednesday, June 23, 2021

2020年世界杯比赛时间Please note that if more than five (5) emergency closures occur and/or there are a significant number of delayed openings and/or early dismissals used, the school calendar also may be adjusted appropriately in order to meet the minimum required student days AND the required number of student hours. 

2020年世界杯比赛时间These readjustments may include the re-designation of holidays as student days; the adjustment of Spring break; the cancellation of planned early releases; and the extension of the school year beyond June 23, 2021.

Teacher duty days will not exceed 191
