JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Duval County Public Schools announced the updated 2020-2021 calendar.
The revised calendar comes after the first day of school was pushed back to Aug. 20.
DCPS says some important changes include:
- All Early Dismissal days are now full, instructional days.
This conversion helps schools recover instructional time and provides a way to not dramatically shift the last day of school. - The addition of six instructional days in place of previous weather days or non-work days (October 30, December 18, April 9, June 1, June 2, and June 3).
The conversion of these weather days helps schools recover instructional time and provides a way to not dramatically shift the last day of school. - The April 1 Weather Day is now a Teacher Planning Day.
- Grading periods will end on October 15, December 18, March 19, and June 3.
- The last day of school is June 3, 2021.
