Back To School: Vestavia's 2021-22 School Calendar

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL — Back-to-school planning has already begun in Vestavia, with calendars available to help parents prepare for the first day in Vestavia Hills City Schools.

The first day of school for students in Vestavia is Aug. 10

Heading into the upcoming school year, some dates are subject to change as the coronavirus pandemic nears its year-and-a-half point. A mix of in-person, virtual and hybrid learning is still possible in Vestavia.

In the event of a school closure mandated by state or local officials, all K-12 students enrolled in the Traditional Learning Model will shift to the Emergency Triage Model. This instructional model is designed to be used only in the event that students, faculty, and staff are unable to return to their campuses for an extended period of time.

The Emergency Triage Model will include required daily and/or weekly work, and assignments will be graded. The model will be a continuation of the traditional model offered virtually.

Here is the list of dates to know for this school year:
