The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District is adding three Friday Early Release days to the 2021-2022 school calendar. The dates are March 18, 25, and April 1, 2022.
On Early Release for student days, school ends 90 minutes earlier than usual, and buses run 90 minutes earlier than normal. The previously scheduled Early Release days on Wednesday, March 16, and April 20, 2022, are cancelled.
“Thank you to all of our staff and families who provided input regarding early release days. From the more than 1,800 survey responses, it is clear that the early release days provided benefit to our students by allocating time for our staff to plan, review data, and collaborate. The extra time has been much needed this year with all the disruptions caused by COVID-19. We also heard how it has been a hardship on many working parents who struggled to make arrangements for their childcare when school ended 90 minutes earlier than normal, and acknowledge that difficulty.
Given all the input, and with the impact of COVID in schools waning, the KPBSD will add three additional Friday Early Release days on March 18, 25, and April 1, 2022. On these three days, school will end 90 minutes earlier than usual, and buses will also run 90 minutes earlier than normal. Then for the rest of this school year, we will return to the regular weekly school schedule. Thank you for everything you do to support student learning.”
