April 11 is a districtwide early release day. All students will be dismissed from school two hours early. Friday, April 12, is a student and staff holiday. Enjoy the long weekend.
After-school programs, bus schedules and other portions of the daily schedule will be adjusted, as well.
Parents of students in half-day programs and Pre-K should check with their child’s school about the impact of early release days on special programs. Students receiving special education transportation will have their bus service altered to meet early release times. Parents with questions about early release day schedules should contact their child’s school.
Early release days were added to RISD’s student academic calendar in 2018-19. There are six early release days during the 2023-24 school year: Sept. 20, Oct. 25, Dec. 21, Feb. 15, April 11 and May 24.
