At their meeting on Monday, June 27, 2022, the South St. Paul School Board approved a change to the 2022-23 school year calendar. The change, for preschool, elementary and middle school families only, shifts November 7, 2022, and March 9, 2023, from in-person learning days to flex learning days. By shifting these two days to flex learning for our prek-8 students, we can expand the student-family connection times to 12:00-8:00 pm, allowing some daytime options for families. There are no changes to the previously approved calendar for high school students and families.
