INPUT SOUGHT FOR 2021-22 CALENDAR

The Aspen School District is seeking input for the 2021-22 school year calendar.

“Clearly COVID-19 and the physical distancing hardships we are experiencing will have an impact on our calendar,” the district said in a notice issue this week. “One immediate response is that the high school will be pushing Experiential Education from the fall to the spring next year. This calendar change provides time for staff to adjust their Ed Ed course as needed in response to proposed physical distancing directives. Other calendar changes are in dialogue regarding the availability of summer school and multiple scenarios for the start of the year depending on public health orders.”
