Everett makeup days have been decided
The Everett School District has announced its makeup days for the weather-related school closures of this winter.
The remaining days are: Feb. 16, March 9, June 8 and June 22.
June 21 is now a full day for students and staff, rather than an early-release day as previously planned.
There is a potential for the state to waive requirements for makeup days under certain conditions. Everett Public Schools may qualify for a waiver for the sixth day it was closed this year.
The district is applying for that waiver.
Parents are asked to hold Tuesday, Feb. 20, open as a possible school day in case of inclement weather between now and then, unless they already have plans.
