Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011
Thursday, March 1, 2012

On Sept. 6, 2011, the Canyons Board of Education approved the negotiated agreement with the Canyons Education Association. As part of this agreement, end-of-quarter grading days were reduced to half days. As a result, school will be held for one half day, or for 4 hours and 40 minutes (including lunch), on the day before the end of the first, second, and third quarter to accommodate busing schedules in secondary schools. East Sandy Elementary also is affected, because it does not have early-out days already scheduled at the end of each term. All other elementary schools have early-out days built in to their calendars.
