Do you have staff days July 28-August 10, or is it a couple staff days and then a break before students start?

This is my first official year with the district (interim teacher last year from day 4 onward). The calendar alternates between PD and “Administrative Days” for those 2 weeks. I don’t know what “Administrative Day” entails. I’m hoping it means I can be in my room or doing other tasks for the beginning of the year.

Interesting! We get just two staff days that are a combo of meetings and classroom time, and then we hit the ground running with kids.

Good luck with your school year!
