After a lengthy discussion and review of staff/parent feedback from surveys, emails, and social media posts, the Guy-Perkins Board voted Thursday night to use 2/5, 3/4, 4/1, and 5/17 to make-up the recent inclement weather days. The decision to combine three (3) Mondays and one (1) Snow Day as the make-up days was to preserve 30 of the 40 instructional hours lost PRIOR to ATLAS Testing in March and April. The District realizes that it is impossible to make a decision that will please everyone and apologizes for any inconvenience that the inclement weather and scheduling of make-up days causes our staff/families.
REMINDER: Deadline to place an order is this Friday, February 9th! Get you orders in!!Order forms were sent home yesterday (1/25/24) with Elementary students for Valentine's Day Candy Grams. The Elementary will have Valentine's Parties on Friday, February 16th in the afternoon. Candy Grams will be delivered to the classrooms that afternoon. Deadline to order is February 9, 2024. Cash or check. Make checks payable to Guy-Perkins School. High School students can pick up order forms in the HS Office.
Guy-Perkins School District recently lost four (4) days of school due to inclement weather/poor road conditions. Since Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) days no longer count towards the required instructional minutes needed per week, our District must determine when to make up these days in the remaining portion of the 2023-24 school calendar.
Please remember that each day in the Guy-Perkins School District calendar (4-day week) counts as 1.25 days of instruction in a regular school calendar. This means that students have actually lost the equivalent of five (days) of instruction in the regular calendar prior to Atlas Testing in March/April.
The District proposes using four (4) upcoming Mondays to make up the missed inclement weather days. Please take a moment to complete this survey helping us determine which Mondays work best for your family. Thank you for your feedback!

We will announce Friday's plans tomorrow afternoon.

The District is now seeking input from staff, students, and parents concerning the 2024-25 school calendar starting/ending date, holiday breaks, and Parent-teacher Conference dates.
