Superintendent Message – Snow Make Up Day

Hello PSD Families,

The Pendleton School District will be conducting school as normal on Friday, May 12^th.  This day was originally put on our 2022-2023 Calendar as a “snow make-up day.”  It’s hard to believe, but we have had six late starts and two full “snow days” this school year.  Each of these days represents lost instruction for our students.  The state requires a minimum number of instruction hours each year, and when we fall below this number, we find ways to make up for the lost time.  As a result, we create our yearly school calendar with at least one “snow make-up day.”  If we don’t need to use it, great.  If we need to make up instructional hours, as we do this year, we use it without adding days to the end of the year.  So again, there will be school on Friday, May 12^th, so please plan accordingly.  Here is the link to the updated school calendar.

Sincerely,

Kevin Headings
Superintendent
