Bethel Park Board Sets April 1 Makeup Day | The Locally Times
The change makes April 1 an early dismissal makeup day and moves the third quarter Records Day to accommodate a school cancellation from December 2, 2025.
The Bethel Park School District Board of School Directors has amended the 2025-2026 school calendar to make up for instructional time lost to a severe winter storm on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. According to a March 31, 2026, district announcement, the board’s approval followed an administrative recommendation to meet state requirements for instructional days. ## April Makeup Day and Schedule Changes As a result of the calendar amendment, Wednesday, April 1, 2026, will now serve as the official makeup day. The district announcement specifies this will be an early dismissal day for all students, though kindergarten students will not attend. The announcement does not state a reason for the exclusion of kindergarten students. To accommodate the new makeup schedule, Tuesday, March 31, 2026, will now be a full instructional day for all students. ## Records Day Moved The calendar adjustment also affects an administrative day for school staff. The third quarter Records Day, originally scheduled for the new makeup day on April 1, has been moved to Monday, April 6, 2026. The district’s announcement clarifies that no classes are held for students on Records Days. While the announcement detailing these changes is dated March 31, 2026, the document contains a footer that references a calendar revised on January 22, 2026. The district's official posting does not explain the discrepancy between these dates.
