New Nashua School Policy: Snow Days To Be Made Up

NASHUA, NH -- Nashua schools will be in session for 180 days this school year and any snow days will be made up at the end of the year, Superintendent Jahmal Mosley announced Tuesday. In the past, school officials have shortened the school year some years if there were a high number of snow days.

"Despite recent past practice, schools will be in session 180 days this year," Mosley said in a message to the school community Tuesday. "In keeping with our commitment to provide a high quality education, we want to remind parents, staff members and their families not only to avoid planning vacations or celebrations outside the school-year schedule but also to allow up to 10 snow days."

The last day of school is scheduled for Friday, June 14.

Mosley added, "Teachers provide a challenging curriculum in a deliberate progression, and we know that with your consideration and foresight, teaching will be maximized and our students will have the benefit of a full-year of learning with 180 school days."
