Planning a family vacation, appointment, or special trip during the 2026-27 school year?

Prioritize scheduling vacations, appointments, and other non-school activities during planned school breaks whenever possible.

With 167 student attendance days in the school year, every day in the classroom matters. Regular attendance helps students stay engaged in learning, build strong relationships with teachers and classmates, and maintain academic progress throughout the year.

Missing just two days per month can add up to 20 days over the school year. That’s one full month of lost instruction leading to significant learning delays.

To help families plan ahead, USD 336 has created a 2026-27 Vacation Planner that highlights the best opportunities for travel and extended family activities without missing instructional time.

Keep in mind, families should also prioritize attending Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences provide an important opportunity to discuss student progress, celebrate successes, address concerns early, and strengthen the partnership between home and school. Students benefit most when families and educators work together.

The complete 2026-27 district calendar is available at holtonks.net.

🚌 All-School Bus Evacuation Drill 🚌

Today, our district conducted an all-school bus evacuation drill to help ensure our students know what to do in an emergency.

This time of year is a great reminder of the importance of practicing our safety procedures and making sure every student knows how to safely exit a bus and where to go if an emergency occurs.

A big thank-you to our students, staff, and bus drivers for making the time and helping us keep student safety our top priority! 💙🤍
Safety first, Wildcats! 🐾🚌
