Board Approves Revisions to 2008 - 2009 School Calendar

At the May 1, 2008 meeting of the GISD Board of Trustees, the 2008-09 calendar was revised to allow students to take final exams before Winter Break.  The new calendar reflects the following changes.

  • The first semester ends Friday, December 19, 2008.
  • January 5, 2009, will be a teacher inservice day/student holiday.
  • Students return from Winter Break on Tuesday, January 6, 2009.
  • The second semester begins on Tuesday, January 6, 2009.
  • Tuesday, January 20, 2009 will be a regular school day.  (This is the date moved to the above mentioned January 5).
  • The term “six week grading period” will now be referred to as “grading period,” due to changes necessary to end the semester before Winter Break.

For further clarification, Tuesday, January 20th on the previous calendar was a teacher inservice day and student holiday.  That day has been moved to Monday, January 5, which will now be a teacher inservice and student holiday.
