District News & Information

REVISED SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR

NBAS was required to modify its 2016-17 school calendar to match the Lapeer County Intermediate School District common calendar adopted for all schools in Lapeer County. The waiver approved by the state that allowed Lapeer County Schools to start school before Labor Day required all county schools to have the same winter and spring breaks. Therefore, with the cooperation from the North Branch Education Association, the following changes were recently made to the 2016-17 school calendar and we wanted to share this with our community in a timely manner as we know families will be making plans around the winter and spring breaks:

* School will not be in session on Tuesday, January 3, 2017 as all districts must

have a full 10 day break during the winter holiday. Therefore, the winter break

will start on Wednesday, December 21 and run through Tuesday, January 3.

School will resume on Wednesday, January 4, 2017.

*North Branch is required to have 180 school days for students. Therefore, due

to not having school on January 3, classes will now be in session on Friday

March 31. Spring Break will run from Saturday, April 1 through Sunday, April 9.
