[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS was supposed to have two back-to-back early release days in March 2026 for conferences, and just recently changed the calendar to be one early release and one full day off (and removed an early release later in April).  Duran's note when this change was announced said, "To ensure sufficient time for Parent-Teacher Conferences and to make sure they are accessible to all families, I am proposing a calendar change at tomorrow’s School Board meeting."

But then they'll be back to doing back-to-back early releases for conferences in Fall '26 and Spring '27?  I don't get it.  Is the "sufficient time" and "accessible to all families" a matter of having 3 early release days vs. 2?

I can see how 2 wouldn't be enough and 3 would.

Keep in mind many elementary teachers pretty actively discourage even doing them in the spring if your kid is on track in all areas and middle school teachers practically tell you flat out not to bother both fall and spring and yet in the current system all these kids and teachers have a full day off school in the fall and the spring.  It seems they are going to stop the charade of doing them at all in middle school for next school year.[/quote]
