Bedford Revises School Calendar, Accommodates Lost Days

BEDFORD, N.Y. -- As a result of school days lost to Hurricane Sandy, snowstorms and power outages, the Bedford Central School District has revised its school calendar, district officials announced Thursday in an e-mail sent to parents.

Bedford Central School District superintendent Jere Hochman sent an e-mail to parents Thursday stating the district has made adjustments to the calendar to accommodate school days lost this year to snow, power outages and a hurricane.

In his note, Superintendent Jere Hochman said in order to recoup student instructional days lost this fall and winter, Fox Lane Middle School and High School now need two more make-up days and district elementary schools need one more make-up day.

To accommodate the unforeseen number of lost days, the following adjustments have been made to the school calendar, according to the letter:

Middle and high school students will now have a half-day of school March 15. However, this could be changed to a full day depending on plans for parent/teacher conferences.

April 1 has become a school day for all students.

May 3 will remain a superintendent’s conference day unless another day off is needed due to unforeseen circumstances, in which case it will become a school day for the district.

If there is a second snow day after that, March 25 will become a school day. If there is a third snow day, March 26 will become a school day, and if there is a fourth, school will be in session March 27.

For now, however, March 25-29 remains the spring break.
