Wicomico County Public Schools will make two adjustments to the 2014-2015 school calendar to make up the school day lost on Jan. 14 due to snowy and icy conditions. Families are asked to please note these changes and contact their student’s school with any questions.
- Tuesday, March 31: This day will be an early dismissal day for students, with schools dismissing two hours early. This had been scheduled to be a full school day, but early dismissal will provide teachers with time needed to work on requirements for meeting their Student Learning Objectives (SLOs); this task would have been part of the professional day on April 7.
- Tuesday, April 7: This day will now be a regular school day for Wicomico students and staff. April 7 had been scheduled as a professional day, with part of the day for SLOs. Now, teachers will have time on March 31 to work on their SLOs.
Wicomico schools will be closed as planned April 1-6 for the spring holiday break. (The Central Office and school offices will be open April 1 and 2, and closed April 3 and 6.) With these changes, the school year will still end for students on Wednesday, June 10 as scheduled. An additional day for staff members will be added at end of the school year.
The school system is aware that some families may already have made plans for April 7, and that some students may be not be able to attend that day. Upon the student’s return to school, a parent or guardian must provide a note stating the reason for the absence in order for the absence to be excused. Students are allowed to make up work that they miss on an excused absence day.

Do they mean Easter Vacation because it's certainly not college?
