Acceleration Days are designed to help address learning loss associated with the pandemic. Face-to-face instruction is a critical element of student success. In total, students will be given 32 additional hours of instruction, enrichment, connectivity and social and emotional support at school. With these extra days of instruction, teachers and support staff will be able to meet with students one-on-one or in small group settings to identify areas of improvement. In preparation for Acceleration Days, school staff can identify students in need and provide them with the appropriate educational support so that they may reach their highest potential. We want our students to graduate ready for the world. For students who do not need additional instructional support, Acceleration Days provide opportunities for enrichment. Acceleration Days will take place on December 19-20, 2022 and April 3-4, 2023.

As we work together to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma and discrimination related to mental illness, and prevent suicides, it is vitally important that we take care of ourselves. During this stressful time, we remind you all, to place an emphasis on your own self-care. Take time to breathe, meditate, exercise, get plenty of sleep, and take a break from the news and social media periodically. We encourage you to visit the EMM resource center where you will find self-care articles, graphics, and tips to share on social media.
