Understanding the APS Calendar Development Process
The APS calendar isn’t created overnight. It’s a product of careful planning and consideration by the ABOE. Developed in three-year cycles, the calendar provides families with a predictable schedule and allows the school system to account for various factors.
The ABOE considers instructional hours, traditional holidays, community needs, and feedback from parents, teachers, and students when developing the calendar. They also analyze calendars from other school districts to identify best practices. This comprehensive approach creates a balanced calendar that aims to serve the needs of the entire APS community. Currently, the ABOE is developing the calendar for the 2025-2028 school years, showcasing their commitment to long-term planning.
Remember to check back for updates and stay informed throughout the year! The APS calendar is a dynamic document, and changes may occur due to unforeseen circumstances or weather events. By staying connected with official APS resources and your individual school, you can navigate the 2024-2025 school year successfully.
