2021-2022 Pre-/Post-Labor Day Calendar Survey Results 2021-2022 Pre-/Post-Labor Day Calendar Survey Results A survey was conducted from May 20 – June 3, 2020 to collect feedback from students, families, and staff on two school calendar options for the 2021-2022 school year. Both calendar options have 180 student days, 191 teacher days, and similar holidays. The difference is in the start date and the end date. The two proposed calendar options are: Calendar Option A (pre-Labor Day start) - School would begin on Monday, Aug. 23, 2021. School would end on Friday, June 3, 2022. Calendar Option B (traditional post-Labor Day start) - School would begin on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021. School would end on Friday, June 17, 2022. The following table shows the counts by calendar option preference. There were a total of 13,803 responses with 51.4% (n=7,090) preferring Option B and 48.6% (n=6,713) preferring Option A. Response 20% 50% 100% Count Option B 7,090 Option A 6,713 Total Responses 13,803 The survey also provided an opportunity to leave feedback on the question, “Are there any comments/considerations/suggestions you'd like to share with the School Board related to your calendar preference?” There were a total of 2,375 comments (1,162 under Option A, 1,223) under Option B. Responses were coded into themes until saturation. Saturation indicates the point at which no new themes emerge from the data. The most prevalent themes (seen >10 times) are listed below. The complete list of themes can be found in the Appendix. Themes • Like Option B, starting after Labor Day (n=732) • Prefer year round school (n=314) • Align division calendar with other school divisions (n=287) • General comments that were not about the calendars (n=168) 1 2021-2022 Pre-/Post-Labor Day Calendar Survey Results • Starting pre-Labor Day is better suited for Advanced Placement (AP) and Standards of Learning (SOL) testing (n=147) • Like Option A, starting before Labor Day (n=137) • Pre-Labor Day start will interfere with vacation plans the end of August (n=68) • Would like to start earlier than proposed and end before Memorial Day (n=47) • Suggested revisions to clerical days, half days, spring break, and teacher work week (n=30) • Start the school year the week prior to Labor Day (n=18) • Starting before Labor Day works well with the start of fall sports (n=16) • Have a gradual change, 2021-22 one week earlier and then following years two weeks earlier (n=14) • Review the religious considerations impacted by each of the options (n=12) • Like both options, do not care one way or the other (n=10) Themes pertaining to the 2020 - 2021 calendar • Exercise caution in re-opening due to pandemic (n=117) • General comments about 2020-2021 (n=69) • Get students back into the schools (n=25) • Need to finish all the building renovations prior to going back (n=22) • COVID concerns (n=18) • Have a “Virtual Fall” for fall 2020 (n=18) • Adjust time in school due to the interrupted schedule this year (n=17) • Need to make up the time lost this past spring (n=13) • No virtual classes in fall 2020 (they do not work) (n=10) • Need more virtual classes in Fall 2020 (n=10) 2 APPENDIX Are there any comments/considerations/suggestions you'd like to share with the School Board related to your calendar preference? The pre Labor Day really messes with families that either vacation over Labor Day, and those that have college age students that start at the end of August. And it just seems like option A is really cutting the summer short for those students that even work until Labor Day weekend. Labor Day is like the end of summer, and if you start before then, you are taking that away from many families. I am concerned that there is already a significant amount of change that we will be facing in the coming year, and would like to postpone consideration of any other significant changes until we are more stable. I also have concerns about students attending school when it is very, very hot. Even if they are able to all be on climate controlled buses, they will be limited in their ability to get outside and move their bodies. This seems like a very difficult way to start the school year. Get them out earlier! School air conditioning is not suitable to manage 100-degree days very well. Starting school any earlier than September would result in higher utility bills, and the potential for schools having to unexpectedly close early due to extreme temperatures. No overall benefit to starting the school year earlier. Appreciate all the work everyone is doing Keep the schedule as it has been. You will create more issues by changing it. No need to change unless year round school schedule is being considered Thank you for considering stakeholder opinions! If it’s not broke don’t fix it!! Post-Labor Day start is the best option because most people take their vacations in August right before the holiday. I had to choose an option to submit the survey, but I do not prefer any of the two options. Why isn't there an option to begin school on 8/30/21 instead of beginning 2 weeks prior to Labor Day? Beginning school on the Wednesday following Labor Day; what happened to beginning school on the Tuesday after Labor Day? Due to the pandemic, and noting that there's no real downside to sticking to the traditional calendar, I vote for Option B. Giving us one more week to get this virus to settle down and make necessary adjustments to the school environment seems like a good option. This doesn't seem like the right summer to shorten. Would mirror college Please consider a year-round option. Disappointed that was taken off the table. The increased instructional time before standardized testing, including SOLs and AP exams, would remove a disadvantage that Henrico students have had. Why change something that has worked for years with schools starting after Labor Day!!! Leave it the same. Although it is not under consideration any longer this year, I think year round school should be considered for next school year. (2022-2023) In my opinion, it offers the best solution for students to avoid the "summer slump". Due to corona virus concerns the post Labor Day start would be a good option. Students need more time before AP exams and SOLs. They are at a disadvantage to other students who start earlier and have more instruction time for these tests. I wish this change was made years and years ago when my oldest children were in school. They all went to Saturday sessions during the spring to play catch up for their upcoming AP and IB exams. It always surprised me that education was not a higher priority than workers/business over Labor Day weekend. It is time for this change now that the Kings Dominion Law was finally killed. Why change a good thing? Been working great for many, many years. Keep it the way it is because a lot of families are used to the traditional way. People use the end of August as time to get last minute school stuff, make baby sitter arrangements, last summer vacations etc. no need to rush them back. I have enjoyed my time home schooling my kids since this pandemic. School starting before Labor Day is way overdue. The school year would line up with testing at the end of the year and shorten the time spent with students after testing is done - and so are the students and teachers. By August families and teachers are ready to go back. 3 Are there any comments/considerations/suggestions you'd like to share with the School Board related to your calendar preference? Neither!!! Why can't you understand that the impact of the change is felt by the shortening of the summer by a full two weeks? As in if we choose Option A, we have lost two weeks of summer because we will still get out mid-June in 2021 but will start two weeks earlier. This could easily be mitigated by starting August 30th and only losing one week, then having a nice three-day weekend to decompress after the first week and continue with school. Then in 2022 move to the full implementation of Aug. 22nd, 2022. Why did the board decide that the only two choices would have a significant variance of two weeks??? Aligns better with private schools and institutions of higher learning when families have children in multiple stages of education; much of the post-testing period (post-AP exams, SOLs, etc.) seems to be just passing time until mid-June. Henrico, Richmond, Chesterfield, and Hanover is the only system that starts after Labor Day. I feel like they should start in August like the other school systems in Virginia. I think keeping the students until June 17 is way too long. Each school system is different but should be the same when returning back to school and getting out for the summer. No More Kings Dominion Law. Education first !!!!!!! No reason valid enough for the change. Leave it as it is. Works fine that way. I wish the full calendar year option could have been voted on by the families of Henrico students. This is an option we would have hands down voted for. We need to stop trying to change everything all the time.....sometimes, we need to leave good enough alone, and this is one of those cases.

  • Academic Calendar, Payment Periods, & Disbursements
    Glossary CFR DCL Academic Calendar, CHAPTER Payment Periods, & 1 Disbursements Award limits are generally connected to a period of time and to credit or clock-hours attended. For instance, all of the programs except Federal Work-Study (FWS) have a maximum amount that can be awarded for an academic year or award year. Measurement of time is important for another reason—in most cases, awards from the Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs must be paid in at least two installments. For most programs, the amount and timing of the payments is based on the academic terms or payment periods in the program. CHAPTER 1 HIGHLIGHTS “Successfully completes” “Substantially equal” terms Academic Year requirements Direct Assessment payment periods Academic calendars & terms Disbursement issues Payment periods Payment period completion Grant programs requirements ➔ Standard and nonstandard terms Timing of disbursements ➔ Clock-hour and non-term credit-hour Related topics Direct Loan program Payment periods when student re-enters ➔ Standard terms and substantially a program after withdrawing—see equal nonstandard terms Volume 5, Chapter 2. ➔ Clock-hour, non-term credit-hour, and nonstandard Annual loan limit progression—see terms not substantially equal in length Volume 3, Chapter 5. ACADEMIC YEAR REQUIREMENTS Every eligible program, including graduate programs, must have a defined academic year. The academic year is one component used in determining the student’s eligibility for Title IV aid. A school may have different academic years for different academic programs. For example, a school may choose to define the academic year for a term-based program differently from a non-term program. In some cases, the definitionmust be different, such as in the case of a clock-hour program and a credit-hour program.

  • And St. Patrick's
    CB14-FF.02 Jan. 15, 2014 Irish-American Heritage Month (March) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17): 2014 Originally a religious holiday to honor St. Patrick, who introduced Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into a celebration for all things Irish. The world’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade occurred on March 17, 1762, in New York City, featuring Irish soldiers serving in the English military. This parade became an annual event, with President Truman attending in 1948. Congress proclaimed March as Irish-American Heritage Month in 1995, and the President issues a proclamation commemorating the occasion each year. Sports Celebration of Irish Heritage 100,003 Population of South Bend, Ind., home to the Fighting Irish of the University of Notre Dame.
