District's Web site features two calendar options
DALLAS--Dallas ISD invites parents, students and community members to log on to the district's Web site, www.dallasisd.org to review and vote for one of two calendar options for the 2011-2012 school year.
The calendar options list the dates for the opening and closing of the school year, student and teacher holidays, early release days for teacher staff development, parent-teacher conference dates, dates for spring break, and dates for report card distribution. The options differ in the number of days designated for winter break, the dates for bad weather make-up days and teacher and student holidays.
The link includes the two calendar options, a page of calendar highlights pointing out the main features of the two options and a frequently asked questions document with answers to questions about the make-up of the calendars.
The community may access the school calendar ballot on the district's Web site until the close of business Friday, Oct. 15.
