The weather during the past several months has certainly
posed a significant challenge to school districts across the
State of Ohio. Yesterday, Toledo Public Schools outlined its
contingency plans to make up lost instructional time for
students.
Along with additional take-home assignments, or Blizzard
Bags, TPS students still need to make up several hours of
school time:
·
Elementary students need to make up 3.5 hours of
instruction.
o
Elementary students will make up their time by reporting to
school 15 minutes earlier, and staying 15 minutes later, on
Thursday, April 24, Friday, April 25, and the entire next
week – April 28 through May 2.
·
High School students need to make up 4.5 hours.
o
This time will be made up by moving the exam schedule up by
one day. That means that students will report according to
regular exam schedule on the first three days: June 2 – full
day with 7th hour exam at the end of the day; June 3 --
Exams 1 & 2 and June 4 – Exams 3 & 4. They then must report
to school from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on June 5 ONLY
with the exam schedule that day as follows: 8-9:50
a.m. – Exam 5; 9:50-10:00 a.m. – passing time; 10–11:50 a.m.
- Exam 6; from 11:50 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. – locker clean
out/lunch.
o
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:
Senior exams MUST be completed early due to
graduation deadlines. Senior exams must be completed by June
4.
Due
to the change in the exam schedules, two graduation
ceremonies have been rescheduled from their original times
on Thursday, June 5:
-
Bowsher High School has moved its graduation ceremony to
2 p.m. – it had been set for 10 a.m.
-
Scott High School moved their event to noon – it had
been scheduled for 2 p.m.
-
Both graduations will still be held on Thursday, June 5
at the Stranahan Theater.
Updated
information is being shared with students and parents from
both high schools. |
