* Staff development days, Thanksgiving break, Winter break, Presidents’ Day, and Spring break align with the Decorah Public School District.

** The fourth weather-related school closing and any subsequent school closings will be made up the last week of May or first week of June.

*** We strive to honor scheduled events. However, life does happen, as it always has, and the calendar should be considered a working document. We update the calendar to reflect the most accurate and up to date information possible. We will announce, via email, any changes to the calendar. Please contact us with questions or comments.
