As you may have noticed, we’ve missed quite a few days of school due to snow and cold.  (We’re up to 13, if I haven’t lost count.)  Since we are required to be in school for 180 days, we have to make up the days we’ve missed.  We’ve made up one day (on Martin Luther King Day).  We’re scheduled to make up two more on President’s Day and the Monday after spring break.  Here are some of the options being considered to make up the remaining 10 days:

• Attend school on Good Friday (make up 1 day).
• Attend school one Saturday a month (up to 4 days).
• Attend school on Memorial Day (make up 1 day).
• Extend the school day by an hour to make up the additional time (1 hour/day for 6 days = 1 makeup day).
• Offer online instruction on Saturdays.
• Add any remaining days to make up on to the end of the school year.  (Scheduled last day was May 23.  Adding all 10 days to the end of the year would extend school until June 9.)

What are the pros and cons of each option?  What do you think we should do to make up the days?  It might have to be a combination of the above ideas.
