Board adopts 2025'26 calendar with added student conference day
Summary
Vernonia SD 47J approved calendar option 2 for the 2025-26 school year, trading a full professional development day for a second student-family conference day to increase engagement without reducing instructional time.
The Vernonia SD 47J Board approved the 2025-26 school calendar (option 2) which adds a second student conference day in exchange for a previously scheduled full-day professional development day. Board members said the change responds to community requests for more family engagement opportunities.
Board discussion emphasized that the swap does not change total instructional time. A board member moving the motion described option 2 as "the one with the conferences," and the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded. The calendar will proceed as presented and staff will implement the additional conference-day scheduling.
Administrators said the district will align the added conference with student-led events when feasible to boost participation and engagement.
