Friday, May 26 is a Give Back Day
Each year our District's formal Board approved calendar includes three inclement weather days (or snow days) to be used during the academic school year. This year, circumstances did not require the use of any inclement weather days, as such we were able to provide the following,
-
A closure in recognition of Eid al Fitr (April 21, 2023);
-
A closure for the June 6th Election; and,
-
As is our established tradition, close the Friday before Memorial Day as a ‘give back day’ in recognition of the hard work and dedication of our staff and students.
Therefore, please be reminded that on Friday, May 26, 2023, the South Orange and Maplewood School District will be closed for both staff and students. Our schools and offices will reopen on Tuesday, May 30th.
