UPDATE: No Make Up Days Required for Recent School Closings

UDPATE (5:34 p.m., Jan. 29, 2013): The Hudson School District has issued a press release explaining that despite three school closings due to weather this school year, no make up days will be required. 

Schools were closed Dec. 9 due to snow, Jan. 22 due to cold and Jan. 29 due to icy conditions.

If more closings occur this year, the district plans to hold a review of student instructional time and possibly adjust daily schedules to account for any needed makeup time.

The following is the full text of the district's news release:

Students in the Hudson School District will NOT need to make up the recent school closing days resulting from inclement weather. The district’s school calendar includes student instructional time that extends beyond the number of hours required by the State of Wisconsin. If additional school closings occur between now and the end of the school year, further review of student instructional time will be required and adjustments made to the daily schedule if needed. The district appreciates the patience and understanding of our school families. The difficult decision to delay and or close schools best balances the safety needs of ALL students with the regrettable inconvenience experienced by families.
