Why does the 2021-2022 school year end on Wednesday June 15th?
April 14, 2022
June 14 and 15 are the last two days of school and are both half days
So, why do we end the school year on a Wednesday? Mr. Smiley stated ,“The calendar is something that is negotiated between board members and teachers. The State requires a certain amount of days, and a certain amount of hours and then you have to look at all the logical stuff, like how much time we need for Christmas and February breaks, and Easter.”
He also stated “The best time to end school is around the 10th of June, and anytime you have to go to that next week, it’s a problem.” Students tend to get “a little crazy” the further school goes into June.
On a half day, school goes from 8:15am-11:30am.
Katelyn Granowicz, West 7th grader, thinks “…we should end on a Friday because it just seems better than ending in the middle of the week.”A lot of things go into consideration when it comes to school ending.

I think it would make more sense just to have the last day of school on a Friday because usually on the 2 half days left of school, not much work is done and it’s a bit crazy.

I think it’s perfectly fine and doesn’t mean much
