District School Calendar to be adjusted due to School Closings
Due to the cancellation of school from Monday, January 6 through Wednesday, January 8 because of severely cold
weather conditions, the Green Bay Area Public School District will be making the following school calendar changes:
 The annual built-in inclement weather day was used on Monday, January 6.
 The cancellation of school on Tuesday, January 7 will result in the district’s May 27 weather make-up day becoming a required school day for students.
 To compensate for the third inclement weather day used on Wednesday, January 8, the following changes will
be made:
-The last student day for middle school students will be moved to Wednesday, June 11 (was originally
Tuesday, June 10).
-The last student day for high school students will be moved to Thursday, June 12 (was originally
Wednesday, June 11).
-The last student day for elementary school students will be moved to Thursday, June 12 (was originally
Wednesday, June 11).
The district will continue to explore options if any additional weather make-up days become necessary in the future.
SCHEDULING CHANGE FOR SPRING CONFERENCES
Southwest High School will be using new online scheduling software that will enable you to sign up for Parent
Teacher conferences online beginning with our March conferences. This system allows you to sign up for conferences when it best fits your schedule and view your schedule easily online. Booking a conference is EASY.
Please watch for an introductory and instruction letter to be mailed to your home the week of February 17.
