| November 18, 2019 Dear MUSD Parent/Guardian: Exciting News! The Marana school district is pleased to share the Governing Board approved academic calendar for the 2020-2021 school year. This calendar directly reflects the input received in the Academic Calendar Survey sent in October. Over 2,000 parents, students, and employees responded. Based on the results from the survey, the following aspects of the academic calendar will continue: - The first day of school remains a Monday.
- Each semester of the school year remains as equal, as possible, in instruction days.
- Winter Break remains two full weeks and three weekends.
- The last day of school is prior to Memorial Day.
In addition, based on the survey, the following aspects of the calendar will change beginning next school year: - There will be no school for students on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving Week. This student instructional day has moved to the last week of the school year.
- The two half-days (Thursday/Friday), at the end of the first and third quarter, have changed to a full school day on each Thursday and no school for students on each Friday. This change maintains the same number of instructional hours for students while providing teachers a longer, more focused time for grading and completion of report cards.
Moving forward, we continue to provide the highest quality of instruction in the same number of instructional hours to ensure all of our students meet with life-long success. You will find the calendar attached to this communication. Additionally, the academic calendar can be accessed on our District Website at www.maranausd.org/calendar. I want to thank you for your participation and for your ongoing support of our District. We are confident this calendar will provide benefits to families, students, and employees. Regards, Doug Wilson, Ed.D.
