The school calendar can be used as a tool for increased student achievement and to attract families to your community. Moving from the traditional school calendar to a calendar that provides improved learning opportunities for students and more flexibility for families is complicated, even for just one school. It requires leadership from the board of education, perseverance in problem-solving, and the willingness to move in a new direction without having all the answers. The Tomah Area School District will share their experience in establishing a 45-15 calendar at Lemonweir Elementary School and the impact of the calendar on the students and staff.
