It’s the holiday season, and students will be getting a break from their regular learning schedules to celebrate.
Many of the schools will start their breaks once their school day ends today. Officially, break doesn’t begin until Monday, but this doesn’t count the weekend. The majority of those schools will have students returning to their classes Jan. 4.
School districts starting Monday Jan. 4 include Central High, Comanche, Duncan, Empire, Velma-Alma and Waurika public schools.
While this schedule may fit many of the schools, some other schools are diversifying their holiday break schedules.
For instance, Bray-Doyle is the only school district that will be in session at all next week. The district will have classes Monday and Tuesday. Students will return to school Jan. 4.
While most school districts may have slated Jan. 4 for students to come back to class, Marlow School District set a different day for students to return. Both districts begin their holiday breaks after school today.
Marlow Public Schools is giving its students an extra day of break. Teachers will go back to school Jan. 4 for a professional day. Students will follow by returning to their desks Jan. 5.
