A Message from Superintendent Jeff Granatino

Good afternoon.  Due the excessive number of snow days we have had over the last seven school days, tomorrow’s scheduled early release for Professional Development (PD) is going to be changed to a FULL DAY of school (no PD).   All Canton Public Schools will be open on Wednesday, February 4th for a typical full day.  The PD early release will be rescheduled for later in the school year and you will be given sufficient notice.

With 4.5 out of the last 7 school days lost to snow days or late starts (with more bad weather predicted), the students and their teachers have had to endure disjointed learning time.  Another half day of school will only add to the lack of continuity in the classroom.  While this may entail some changing of schedules, we feel the move is in the best interest of our students and will allow for more meaningful learning time in the classroom.

If you have a situation where you had something scheduled for your child based on the early release hours, please feel free to communicate that with your building principal.

Again, Wednesday, February 4th will be a full day of school for the Canton Public Schools.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey W. Granatino
