The Talbot County Board of Education approved an amended calendar for the 2021-2022 school year during their November meeting. The following changes were made and apply to all staff:

• December 22 will be an early dismissal day for both students and staff.

• January 21 (Transition Day) will now be an early dismissal day for staff, with no school for students.

• February 18 will be an early dismissal day for students and staff.

• March 18 will be an early dismissal day for students and staff.

• May 27 will be an early dismissal day for students and staff.

“We realize that conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have placed additional strain on educators this year,” said Dr. Helga Einhorn, Assistant Superintendent for curriculum and instruction. “We are hopeful that this additional time will give staff an opportunity to regroup, catch-up, spend time with family or pursue their own personal wellness.”
