Eldred Central School District

March 19, 2025 Dear Eldred Families and Staff, As we transition into spring, the likelihood of school cancellations due to inclement weather decreases. Emergency days serve as a safeguard for weather-related closures, district malfunctions, or other unforeseen emergencies. With the conclusion of winter, we have unused emergency days that must be incorporated back into the school calendar. As a result, the following "Give Back Days" will be implemented for the remainder of the 2024-2025 school year: Friday, April 11th – No school for 10- & 12-month staff and students Monday, April 21st – No school for 10-month staff and students Friday, May 23rd – No school for 10- & 12-month staff and students Important Note: If additional emergency days are required, the above dates will revert to regular instructional days in the following order: May 23rd, then April 11th, and lastly April 21st. Sincerely, Traci Ferreira Superintendent of Schools
