At last week’s school board meeting, the board scheduled a calendar work session to begin discussions around the values that guide our Star Valley school calendar. This work session is intended to review both the operational needs of the district and the calendar preferences expressed by our community and stakeholders. We sincerely appreciate all who have reached out to share their input with elected officials and district administrators. Your feedback is an important part of shaping a calendar that best serves our students, families, and staff. We want to emphasize that this is the beginning of our calendar work. No final decisions or proposals will be made during the October work session. The calendars shared to this point are provided only as conceptual frameworks. They are not finalized or proposed calendars. Key dates—including start and end dates, spring break, vacation periods, and professional development days—are placeholders and will require additional discussion with stakeholders before any official proposals are developed. The purpose of these conceptual calendars is to provide a foundation for review, reflection, and meaningful dialogue. We thank our community for their continued engagement as we work together in this important process. We welcome your ideas and questions.
