The Platteville School District is gathering feedback from parents and staff members related to the 2015-16 School Year Calendar.

Although legislation still requires a start date after September 1st unless granted a waiver for extenuating circumstances, recent changes have given flexibility to school districts related to the number of days required in a school year. The number of hours required remains in place. This change allows us to relook at how we handle providing staff training/inservice throughout the year.

We would greatly appreciate your completion of the survey by Friday, December 12th, 2014.
