2025-2026 School Calendar Released
USD 216 is committed to providing an environment that supports the best possible learning experience for our students. To help support student engagement and quality mental focus during the instructional day, we have made a slight adjustment to the daily schedule for the 2025-2026 school year by reducing the length of the school day by 20 minutes.
New Student Hours: 7:50 AM - 3:40 PM
Twix After-School Program: 3:40 PM - 5:30 PM
To ensure we continue meeting state-mandated instructional hours while prioritizing student learning, school will be in session on a few additional Fridays throughout the year. However, students will still benefit from a four-day school week for 34 of the 37 weeks in the school year.
In addition to the adjustment in the daily schedule, Early Release days have been removed from the calendar.
We are sharing this information early to help families plan ahead. These time changes WILL NOT take effect until the 2025-2026 school year.
Thank you for your partnership as we work to create the best possible learning environment for our students!
Sincerely,
Crystal SteinmetzSuperintendent of Schools
