School districts in Michigan are given 6 days each year from the State which are allowed to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. Using more than 6 days of forgiven time causes a district to make up the days and hours canceled beyond the 6. Colon Schools has used 3 of these 6 days for the 2021-2022 school year. Therefore, the district is canceling the mid-winter break scheduled in February. Friday, February 11th, and Monday, February 14th will be full days of school. Reminders will be sent in the New Year.
Returning to in person learning.
We hope you have had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We look forward to seeing all students in person tomorrow, Monday, November 29th.

Parents of BACC and SJC CTE students may send students to those programs if transportation can be arranged. There will not be transportation provided by Colon Schools throughout this time period.
