District splits conferences By Chris Strunk Last Updated: January 12, 2017 The 2017-18 school year calendar will change the way parent-teacher conferences are scheduled next fall and next spring. The Valley Center school board on Jan. 9 approved a calendar that separates conferences for secondary schools from ones for elementaries. Otherwise, start and end dates as well as spring and winter breaks are largely the same as 2016-17. School will start Aug. 17 and 18 and end May 18. Fall parent-teacher conferences for high school and middle school will be Oct. 3 through 6 and conferences for elementaries will be Oct. 17 through 20. Spring parent-teacher conferences for secondary students will be Feb. 26 through March 2 and conferences for elementaries will be March 12 through 16. Board member Roger Joyal, who was part of the calendar committee, said scheduling the secondary parent-teacher conferences earlier, particularly the spring conferences, could allow students more time to improve performance before the semester ends. Winter break will be Dec. 21 through Jan. 1, and spring break will be March 19 through 23. |
