Next Year’s Calendar
The Rogers calendar for the 2011-12 school year has more makeup days built in than this year’s calendar did. That means that if there are the same number of snow days, students will get out earlier.
Here are some key days for the upcoming school year:
Aug. 15: First day of school
Nov. 24-25: Thanksgiving break
Dec. 19-30: Winter break
March 19-23: Spring break
May 17: Last day of class
Jan. 16, Feb. 17, March 19-20, May 21-25: Possible makeup days
