This would be to offset missed school days in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak during the next school year. All plans are subject to change as per guidance from health authorities.

Under this new calendar, students will return to school on August 3, 2020. The calendar will incorporate a fall break and a spring break. Each break will include a preceding week to provide intervention and remediation for small group learning. This also provides flexibility to help the district make up for any days lost. The district feels this calendar allows for closer monitoring of students focusing on their safety, wellness and learning.

“This new calendar provides flexibility for the district in terms of responding to possible spikes in COVID-19 case numbers,” Canutillo ISD Superintendent Dr. Pedro Galaviz said. “Recommended by the Texas Commissioner of Education, we agree that this schedule is best in view of the unpredictability of the disease.”
