School dismisses at noon on Friday, December 18, 2026. Lunch is served before dismissal, so your child will have eaten. Plan for a noon pickup.
The second quarter and the first semester both end that day. Grades close on the first half of the year.
Christmas Break follows immediately, December 21 through January 1. Classes resume Monday, January 4, 2027. So this noon dismissal is the last time you will see the building until the new year.
Semester grades are posted in the FACTS Family Portal. If you would like to talk with a teacher about the semester, call the office and ask — you do not have to wait for a conference week.
