2017-2018 School Calendar Set

January 15, 2017 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

The Dell Rapids School Board approved the 2017-2018 school calendar during their last regular meeting on Monday, January 9th.

Dell Rapids High School Superintendent Dr. Summer Schultz presented the calendar to the school board that includes two three-day weekend spring breaks.

“This upcoming calendar would be the second year of doing the two spring breaks instead of a longer spring break, and I just thought we should wait that out and then make a decision that we’re going to do a multi year with a spring break or spring breaks, make sure that that’s what we like,” said Schultz.

Schultz also mentioned, “Other things that we’ve implemented seem to be working.  People seem to really like those four day breaks after conferences.  The day before Thanksgiving has been popular.”

School will begin on Thursday, August 24th, 2017.  The last day of school is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018.  Thanksgiving break will be November 22nd – 24th.  Christmas break will run from December 21st – January 2nd.  March will have breaks on March 9th and March 16th for spring break, and then March 30th for Good Friday.

“I did not put an early out in for staff development that month (March) just because I felt like the three Fridays chopped it up too much,” commented Schultz.

“I guess from my standpoint, the comments I’ve heard, the feedback, has been positive too,” said Dell Rapids School Board President Tom Morris.

The school board will still make decisions on make-up days for snow days in a meeting prior to the end of the school year.
