Alexandria School District 206 has set its calendar for the next two school years – 2012-2013 and 2013-2014.
The biggest difference between the two school years comes next year when there is no spring break scheduled, and the school year ends in May, rather than June.
2012-2013
The 2012-2013 school year starts Tuesday, September 4.
Christmas/winter break runs December 24-January 1 in 2012-2013.
Judy Backhaus, Alexandria Public Schools director of human resources, was part of the calendar planning committee and she explained that because Easter is early in 2013 – Sunday, March 31 – a spring break was not scheduled.
Instead, students will have a few more days off around the Easter holiday – Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1.
Students will wrap up the 2012-2013 school year on Wednesday, May 29. Memorial Day is Monday, May 27 in 2013, so students will have to come back for a couple days after the unofficial start-of-summer holiday.
The Class of 2013 will graduate Sunday, June 2.
2013-2014
The 2013-2014 school year starts Tuesday, September 3.
Christmas/winter break runs December 23-January 1.
Backhaus explained that because the Easter holiday is late in 2014 – Sunday, April 20 – students will get their spring break during the week of March 3-7.
The 2013-2014 school year ends Wednesday, June 4 and the Class of 2014 graduates on Sunday, June 8.
Printable versions of the calendars are available on the school district’s website – www.alexandria.k12.mn.us.
