Two instructional calendar options have been developed for the 2022-2023 school year by the District Education Improvement Committee (DEIC), and the district is seeking your input before a recommendation is presented to the Board of Education.
Unlike years prior, both calendars are on a nine-week schedule. This change was considered and supported by campus leadership teams, the teaching learning and innovation team, and by the DEIC. Despite this change, both options provide a holiday once a month and have identified early dismissal days prior to every major holiday. Both calendar options prioritize maximizing student instruction, while embedding professional learning for teachers.
Review each calendar and submit the choice that best suits the needs of your student and family on the Google Form linked below by noon on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. The calendar receiving the most votes will be recommended to the Castleberry ISD Board of Education for final approval.
