Re: 2019-2020 School Year Calendar 

Dear Eskymo Families and Staff, 

I am writing to you regarding an adjustment to our 2019-2020 school calendar. When the calendar was approved by the Board of Education, a stipulation was included that student half days scheduled on October 11, 2019, February 17, 2020, and April 21, 2020 would change to full days off for students if new legislation allowed it. 

The budgets recently signed by Governor Whitmer contain language that permits schools to count staff professional development time toward required instructional hours. As a result, the half days noted above will now be full days off for students. Students will no longer report to school on October 11, 2019, February 17, 2020, and April 21, 2020. 

Should you have any questions regarding this adjustment, please contact your campus principal. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Coby Fletcher 

Superintendent
