School Calendar Update
No ‘Early Start’ at RenArts


Based on the results of family surveys sent home last week, the 2012-13 RenArts school year will begin on September 4th 2012 and end approximately June 21st 2013. Exact calendar dates will be posted later this spring.

As always, RenArts will schedule equally distributed Winter and Spring breaks. While our breaks are never exactly the same as LAUSD’s due to a different distribution of vacation days (2 weeks Winter/2 weeks Spring at RenArts vs 3 weeks Winter/1 week Spring at LAUSD), RenArts’ 2012-13 breaks will continue to align as closely as possible with LAUSD, despite different school start dates.

We hope this helps RenArts families complete their summer plans!

Survey results:
-----Prefer traditional post Labor Day start-of-school: 77%
-----Prefer LAUSD ‘Early Start’ Calendar: 19%
-----No Preference: 4%
