- Please contact your district for specifics on parent-teacher conference days.
2021-22 Statewide Calendar
One of the key supports for our school communities during the COVID-19 pandemic has been utilizing a statewide school calendar so that all Rhode Island students, educators and families are operating on one shared schedule. A unified school calendar ensures that educators from across the state have the opportunity to prepare and engage in professional development opportunities to better serve students and families. The unified calendar for the 2021-22 school year allows:
- An earlier school year start for districts and for the inclusion of any religious holidays the school community celebrates.
- Alignment of vacation weeks and professional learning opportunities. Keeping vacation weeks the same provides consistency for families and staff. Sharing the same Professional Development days allows us to pool our resources and utilize state offered professional learning.
- Flexibility to LEAs on the last day of school, depending on the year start date and holidays, still requiring 180 days minimum of learning.
