[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The calendar has me confused. I don't see holidays for Rosh Hoshannah (October 3) or Yom Kippur (October 12). [/quote]

They are no longer "holidays" but non instructional days. [/quote]

Teacher work days you mean? Isn't that a change from past years? [/quote]

No, it's not a teacher workday. The calendar clearly labels these as NI, or "Non-Instructional (No school for students and teachers)". "Teacher workday days", as you asked about, are labeled PD, or "Professional Day (No school for students)"

The key change in the 2016-2017 calendar is 4 professional development days prior to the first day of the school year as well as Sept. 12 as a 5th day of PD. Traditionally, these 5 days all would have been before the first day of the school year. RH and YK are being observed as school holidays, as in prior years, but they are now being labeled as "non instructional day". Another change in the calendar is the elimination of the 10/21 NI day for the MSEA conference to make up for a day of PD after the school year has begun.

Ok thanks. When I clicked on the calendar link, there was nothing shown for October at all.[/quote]
