MNPS CALENDAR UPDATE

The following letter went out to all MNPS families this past week and we wanted to make sure you got these important changes on your calendar!

MNPS Families,

Public schools in Tennessee are required by law to make our buildings available as polling sites for elections. Because the state decided after the school year had already started to schedule a special election this fall, we must adjust the 2025-26 school calendar. The district did not have input into these election dates, which are October 7 for the primary and December 2 for the general election. We have worked with stakeholders to develop a calendar that minimizes the impact on staff and families, and the Board of Education approved these changes yesterday during their regularly scheduled Board meeting.  

Calendar Changes:

Tuesday, October 7, 2025 – No Students. Stockpile Professional Development Day.

Friday, October 10, 2025 – No Students. Stockpile Day; no school-based staff report.

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 – No Students. Stockpile Professional Development Day.

Tuesday, January 6, 2026 – Students Report. Regular school day (previously a Stockpile PD Day).

These changes reduce the number of reserved inclement weather days from six to five. If more than five closures are needed, MNPS may implement up to two remote learning days. If required, on those days students will receive instruction and assignments through district-supported platforms. Additional guidance and resources will be provided later this fall to help staff and families prepare for this possibility.

We will share additional guidance later this fall to help families prepare for the possibility of remote learning.

We know families and staff make plans around the school calendar, and our goal is to minimize disruption while keeping safety and instructional time as top priorities. We did not learn of these election dates until after the start of the school year, which is why we are required to amend the calendar now.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
