Changes
to the GCPS Testing Calendar for 2009 - 2010
Updated
on 01/11/10
As you know, Gwinnett schools were not in session on Monday,
September 21 and 22 due to the floods that struck the
Atlanta area.
These "flood days" will be made up using the
first two designated make-up days.
Students and staff will now be in session on February
12 and March 15.
Gwinnett
County Public Schools has amended the 2009-10 school calendar
to include additional snow make-up days.
These days will be: Monday, February 15 and Friday, April
2. Both of these days were originally scheduled as student/staff
holidays.
February 15 will now be designated snow make-up day #1 and
April 2 will be snow make-up day #2,
and May 27 will remain as snow make-up day #3.
The day
missed due to inclement weather on Friday, January 8, will
be made up on Feb. 15 (snow make-up day #1).
The school calendar has two remaining days designated as
snow make-up days. Should the district need to close again
for inclement weather those days would be made up on April
2 (snow make-up day #2) and May 27 (snow make-up day #3).
If these make-up days are not used, April 2 will be a holiday
for students and staff and May 27 will be a required staff
development day.
