1. Rolland-Warner 6-7 Campus
YEAR ROUND MIDDLE SCHOOL Information Night
February 2, 2017
Taylor

2. Welcome
In the school year, Lapeer Community Schools began to offer the year-round calendar, on a voluntary basis, to students at the middle school level. The year-round, or balanced academic calendar, has a shorter summer with more frequent breaks in order to diminish the “summer slide” in student retention. We are excited to once again be able to offer this option to middle-level students in the school year.
