Gwinnett County School Calendar 2024-2025: A Parent’s Perspective

As a parent of two children in the Gwinnett County Public School system, I am deeply concerned about the proposed school calendar for the 2024-2025 academic year. While I understand the need for a balanced approach, I believe that the current proposal does not adequately address the needs of students and families.

One of my primary concerns is the length of the first semester. Under the proposed calendar, students would return to school on August 8, 2024, and not have a break until December 20, 2024. This extended stretch of time without a substantial break is excessive and could lead to burnout and decreased academic performance. A mid-semester break would provide students with a much-needed opportunity to rest and recharge, allowing them to return to school refreshed and focused.

Another issue I have is the lack of flexibility in the calendar. The proposed schedule includes only two optional days off, which does not give families enough opportunities to plan family events, vacations, or appointments. For families with multiple children in different schools, finding time for these activities becomes even more challenging.

Point of View on Derry School Calendar 2024-2025

The Derry School District has released its proposed calendar for the 2024-2025 academic year. The calendar includes several notable changes from the current calendar, including a later start date, more professional development days, and a shorter winter break. The district’s decision to make these changes was based on feedback from parents, students, and staff, as well as a review of best practices in education.

One of the most significant changes to the new calendar is the later start date. The first day of school will be September 4, 2024, which is two weeks later than the current start date. This change was made in response to concerns from parents and students about the early start date, which often conflicted with family vacations and other summer activities. The later start date will also give teachers more time to prepare for the school year and to participate in professional development opportunities.

The new calendar also includes more professional development days. These days will be used for teachers to participate in training and workshops on best practices in education. The additional professional development days will help teachers to improve their skills and knowledge, which will benefit students in the classroom. The district recognizes the importance of ongoing professional development for its teachers, and the new calendar provides more opportunities for this to occur.

The final major change to the new calendar is the shorter winter break. The winter break will run from December 23, 2024, to January 2, 2025, which is two days shorter than the current break. The district made this change in order to reduce the amount of time that students are out of school and to minimize the potential for learning loss. Research has shown that students who experience long breaks from school are more likely to fall behind academically.
