“Please remember that only students with excellent attendance, behavior, citizenship, and classroom performance are permitted to take these optional days off,” said superintendent Danny Freeman. “If you have not been contacted directly by your child’s teacher, then please send your student to school.”

“This is a great opportunity for all students to get specific, targeted academic instruction,” said Freeman. “In the event your child is not required to attend, but you would like to send them for academic extension services, then as always, feel free to send them to school.”

The next optional/required fifth day is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 13.
