Evergreen Public Schools’ 2016-17 school year will begin Aug. 31 and will end on June 15, 2017, if there are no inclement weather days. The calendar reflects the required 180 days of school as mandated by the state.
That means classes will start before Labor Day this year. “When Labor Day lands late, as is the case this year since it is on Sept. 5, we start school before Labor Day so we are not ending school in late June,” said Superintendent John Deeder.
The calendar is available on the district’s website at www.evergreenps.org. Separate calendars will be available soon for elementary, middle and high schools reflecting specific grade-level early release and late start days. Elementary schools will continue to be released early on most Wednesdays.
Evergreen Public Schools is the fifth-largest school district in the state with almost 27,000 students. With 3,200 employees, it is the third-largest employer in Clark County.
