In a forward-thinking move, the Hemlock Board of Education has adopted an extended academic calendar that spans through the 2027-2028 school year. 

This decision aligns with Hemlock Public School District's ongoing commitment to supporting families in their planning and preparation for each school year. Understanding the importance of long-term planning for families, the Hemlock Board of Education has a tradition of adopted school calendars well in advance. This practice provides parents and students ample time to arrange vacations, childcare, and other important activities around the school schedule. 

Board President Matt Wesener, said, "The adoption of our multi-year calendar through 2027-2028 underscores our commitment to supporting families by providing ample time for planning and preparation. While we embrace the stability this calendar offers, we remain flexible to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Our proactive approach underscores our dedication to meeting the needs of our community, balancing foresight with adaptability.'"

By extending the calendar through the 2027-2028 school year, the school district aims to enhance this convenience and stability for all Hemlock families. While the multi-year calendar marks a significant step in educational planning, the district emphasizes that these calendars are flexible and subject to change if necessary. This approach ensures that the district can adapt to unforeseen circumstances, such as inclement weather or unexpected events, guaranteeing the safety and well-being of students and staff. 

Hemlock Public School District encourages parents, students, and staff to stay informed about potential calendar adjustments. Regular updates will be provided through the district's website and communication channels. This proactive approach by the Hemlock Board of Education reflects its dedication to the community's needs, balancing long-term planning with the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions.
