North Judson-San Pierre School Board Establishes 2018-19 Calendar, Approves Policies

The North Judson-San Pierre School Board approved the 2018-2019 NJSP School Calendar when they met earlier this week.

The calendar establishes that the first student day will be August 8, 2018. Fall Break will start on October 15th and end on October 19th, while Thanksgiving break will run from November 21st through November 23rd and spring break will fall on the week running from March 25th through March 29th. The final student day will be May 23rd.

Additionally, revised board policies received unanimous approval on final reading at Tuesday night’s meeting. According to Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin, the policy revisions were a result of the 2017 legislative session.

Some policies that were highlighted during the first reading dealt with conducting background checks more frequently, staff training for suicide awareness and prevention and implementing age-appropriate child abuse and neglect education into the curriculum.
