(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education has approved the 2016-17 school year calendar.
During their Monday night meeting the Board set the first day of school for students for August 17th. Teachers will report for work on August 15th.
High School graduation in May, 2017 will be Saturday, May 13th. Students will be in class for 179 days with teachers having 186 work days during the 2016-17 school year.
The Board accepted with gratitude the retirement, resignation of Carolyn Kirkendall, a kindergarten and 2nd grade teacher who has been with District 56 for 24 years.
Kim Vrtiska and Roger Lampe briefed Board members on the latest Falls City Middle School Monsanto Grant program entitled “WATERS.” Through this program Middle School students are assisting in a water study with Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, near Mound City, Missouri.
Lampe also discussed how each grade level at the Middle School is conducting hands-on math and science projects that study the impact of how the Missouri and Nemaha River water levels affect local farmers.
