Announcing the reason does not change that it is an early release day.

I assumed it was for grading before interims

Professional development. The format and topics vary from school to school. My MS has two sets of in-person workshops running from 12:45-3:00. One of my high school age children is at a school that will permit teachers to grade that afternoon since interims are next week. I’m not sure if they can telecommute. The other is at a school with on-going work about trauma informed teaching and socioemotional learning.

WRONG. Nobody has PD tomorrow. We think it might be related to interims but it’s terrible timing. Would have made more sense to have the half day on the day teachers have to submit interims. At any school I know, teachers get to leave as soon as the students do. Of course this doesn’t make up for the hours and hours of unpaid time we’ve given to the system already.

It's curious how you think you know more than the PP about what their own school is doing tomorrow.

Huh? My school has mandatory PD all afternoon, in person. It sucks, I hate it, I'd rather be grading, but that's the case.

Same story at my school! I'll be sitting in the media center all afternoon for professional development. I WISH we could use the afternoon for grading.

At least some schools have PD tomorrow. You are lucky if your school gives you the half day. Don’t proclaim you know what other teachers have.
