2020-2021 WSISD Academic Calendar

Amended July 16, 2020
Revised April 1, 2021 - The last day of school for students will now be Friday, May 28. 
WSISD did not have to use the additional minutes; therefore, the last day for students
will be Friday, May 28 (1 week earlier than originally planned).

2021-22 Academic Calendar

The WSISD District Planning Committee (DPC), which consists of teachers, administrators, parents, community members and other school employees, developed the Proposed 2021-22 District Academic Calendar.  Parents and staff members were encouraged to provide input regarding the proposed calendar Jan. 19 through Jan. 25.  The DPC reviewed the recommendations/feedback provided by staff and parents, and the Board of Trustees adopted the official calendar on Feb. 22. 

When developing the proposed calendar, factors the DPC considers are:
    • Calendar development is driven by what is best for student instruction.
    • The state requires that all students attend school for 75,600 minutes annually.
    • Teachers must work 187 days per school year.
    • The first semester should end prior to Christmas Break to ensure that secondary students may take final exams prior to the holidays. 
   • Staff Development Days will be placed strategically throughout the school year to ensure that instructional staff has appropriate time for professional development and instructional planning.
   • Two inclement weather make up days must be built into the calendar. 
 

2020-21 Inclement Weather Days: TEA will grant waivers for the days school districts were not in session as a result of the freezing temperatures and hazardous weather Feb. 15 through Feb. 23. This will not impact the 2020-21 academic calendar. At this time, the district will not be required to use the 2 inclement weather make up days that were built into the calendar.

 

Additional Minutes in School Day: For the 2020-21 school year, the district increased the school day by 30 additional minutes. This ensured that students met the minute requirement in the event of a closure due to COVID-19.

For the 2020-21 school year, the district increased the school day by 30 additional minutes to ensure that students met the state’s minute requirement in the event of a closure due to COVID-19.  


WSISD did not have to use the additional minutes; therefore, the last day for students will be Friday, May 28 (one week earlier than originally planned).

Unless WSISD receives guidance from TEA recommending that school district's bank additional minutes in 2021-22, WSISD students will not attend school an additional 30 minutes. 

 

El Consejo Educativo aprobó el 22 de febrero el calendario académico para el ciclo escolar 2021-2022. Agradecemos a todos los que se tomaron el tiempo para darnos retroalimentación. Tuvimos una gran respuesta de parte de las familias y los empleados. El único cambio que se hizo fue el quitar el día de junta de maestros y empleados en el mes de abril. Entre aquí here para el enlace del calendario. 

Días de mal tiempo por la nieve del 2020-2021: La Secretaría de Educación de Texas (TEA) permitió a los distrititos escolares afectados por la nieve los días del 15-23 de febrero que no tengan que reponer esos días en su calendario, por lo que no hay cambios a nuestro calendario actual. En este momento no se nos ha pedido que usemos los 2 días del mal tiempo planificado en el calendario actual.

Acerca de los minutos que hemos acumulado el ciclo escolar 2020-2021, los oficiales del distrito nos darán más detalles al final de marzo (ya que pase la temporada de mal tiempo y el potencial que nos cierren las escuelas).

Días adicionales en el día escolar: Para el ciclo escolar 2020-2021, el distrito incrementó el día escolar por 30 minutos. Esto aseguró que los estudiantes cumplieran con el requisito de la cantidad de minutos impuesta por el estado, en caso de que nos cerraran la escuela por el COVID-19. Los estudiantes de WSISD no tendrán 30 minutos extra en el día escolar en el ciclo escolar 2021-2022, a menos que la Secretaría de Educación de Texas (TEA) le recomiende a WSISD que siga acumulando minutos. El distrito les informará más información acerca de los horarios de clase más adelante.
