FWCS Extends School Day to Make Up Time Lost to Cancellations<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(February 24, 2014) – The Fort Wayne Community Schools Board of School Trustees approved a plan Monday, Feb. 24, to extend the school day by one hour from March 3-April 11, with the exception of Friday, March 28, to make up for time lost to weather cancellations in January and February. March 28 is the last day of school before Spring Break.<\/p>\n

FWCS had to cancel classes a record 12 times because of snow, ice and extreme cold. State law (IC 20-30-2) requires public schools to make up lost days. This additional time allows the district to make up four school days, which will move the end of the school year for students to Friday, June 6 (barring any additional closures). Graduation dates and times will remain the same.<\/p>\n

The extended schedule is:<\/p>\n
