Update your calendars!

Snow Make-Up Days: Last Day of School is
currently Friday, June 19, 2009 unless...

Please update your calendars! The blast of winter weather in mid-December 2008 resulted in three no-school days for Edmonds School District students. These days — Dec. 17-19 — must be made up in June 2009. The last day of school — unless additional snow make-up days are needed —

is now Friday, June 19.

Other important points to note:

  • Tuesday, June 16 — the originally scheduled last day of school — will now be a full day of school, not an early release day;

  • Wednesday, June 17 and Thursday, June 18 are full days. For high school students, please check with your school for the class schedule on those days. For all schools, please check for possible revised or changed dates for end-of-the-school-year events and activities;

  • Friday, June 19 is currently the last day of school (unless additional snow make-up days are needed) and an early release day. There will be no p.m. kindergarten.
