Governing Board Adopts 2012-2013 School Calendar

The Tucson Unified School District Governing Board voted Jan. 24 to adopt a new calendar for the 2012-2013 school year.
 
The calendar reflects new vacation periods, including a full spring break in March and a new one-week fall break in October. The changes were prompted after receiving input from parents, community groups and schools who sought an improved calendar for students.
 
A TUSD calendar committee – assembled from school officials and community members – worked together to create the calendars. Two calendars were presented to the governing board for consideration, in addition to the option of rolling over this year’s calendar. The board adopted what had become known as  Calendar A.
 
Here are the details:
 
The school year will begin Aug. 2, 2012 and end May 23, 2013.
 
Vacation dates are as follows:

  • Sept. 3 – Labor Day
  • Oct.1-5 – Fall Break
  • Nov. 12 – Veteran’s Day
  • Nov. 22-23 – Thanksgiving Holiday
  • Dec. 24 – January 4 – Winter Break
  • Jan. 21 – Martin Luther King Holiday
  • Feb. 21-22 – Rodeo Holiday
  • March 25-April 1 – Spring Break

Schools are also closed for the following grading days:

  • Sept. 28
  • Dec. 21
  • March 15
  • May 24
