Shorewood 2013-14 School District Calendar Set

The 2013-2014 school calendar has been set, which means you can start planning your family's vacations for winter break and spring break.

The Shorewood School Board has set the district’s 2013-14 calendar.

School will begin Sept. 3, the day after Labor Day, and will wrap up on June 12, 2014. Winter break is scheduled from Dec. 23 to Jan. 1, and spring break is scheduled from March 31 to April 4.

Spring break falls on the same week for all North Shore schools, except for Shorewood, according to the School Board.

The calendar was initially approved Feb. 12, but brought back Tuesday to make minor revisions. That's when officials realized other districts inadvertently chose the same week for spring break.

In February, school officials discussed at length aligning spring break with area schools to avoid hardships for families with children in different districts.

Superintendent Martin Lexmond said the district decided to stick with the initially scheduled spring break, because it starts at the end of the third quarter. The district wants to avoid a break in that quarter's instruction. 

"It makes sense academically," Lexmond said. 

Parent teacher conferences will be held Oct. 11 and March 7. Click the PDF attached to this article to see the full schedule of the 2013-2014 school year, including teacher in-service days and holidays. Click the arrows at the bottom of the picture window to cycle through months.
