Inclement Weather Make-Up Days Update:
The top priority of the Dumas School District is the safety and well-being of students, faculty, and staff. With that in mind, the district missed five days (30 hours) of school instructional time that must be made up because the state standards require schools to have 178 days (1068 hours) of instruction. We had three options to make up the lost time: 1) add an hours to the day until the time is made up, 2.) add five (5) days to the end of the school year, and 3.) make adjustments to the existing schedule.
The faculty and staff voted to make up the lost time by decreasing the class transition time from five (5) minutes to three (3) minutes at our secondary schools for the remainder of the school year. Elementary schools have enough minutes in their schedules, so no changes will be made to their schedules. This will make up three (3) of the five (5) days missed. The other two days will be added to the end of the school year. This will move the end of school from June 4, 2024 to June 6, 2024.
Dumas School District will be closed on Monday, February 19th, 2024 in observance of President's day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, February 20th.
