In reality? Probably not. But I keep dreaming up these fantasies in which I arrive at school on Tuesday, ready to take my exams, only to have an official looking man tell me "Sorry, kid. School's closed. You'll have to go home. Come back in a week."

according to the wcpss calendar, the makeup days are in this order:

february 9
may 4
june 8
april 2
april 3
april 4
april 5

after april 5, days are added to the end of the school year, if necessary.

And seniors don't have to come after June 11 even if school keeps going on, I heard.

yea i bet that this is complete bullshit. The teacher probably heard it from a student. It sounds just like the rumors that go around enloe, Does anyone remeber the whole "Enloe's going to be called Enloe university" thing a couple years ago?

actually, these rumors about the fire marshall are true, but somehow wcpss will find a way to weasel out of it. or they'll hussle their butts up and finish it and we'll kill ourselves.

I personally think that they'll tack days on at the end before they take away spring break.

At the same time, though, what happens with exams? I know graduation is set, but if exams move, seniors will have to come anyway if they're not exempt. And if exams don't move, what incentive is there to make kids come after them? This whole thing is a mess.

No the Enloe University thing was actually true 0_o

I did an article and interviews about it for the newspaper as a sophomore.

and it doesn't matter because after the first weeks of may and AP exams....school is pretty much a joke anyway. so let them tack on days and cancel school. but that's going to make 3rd quarter a hell of a lot harder.

Seven-ish years ago, when we had those twenty-two inches of snow, they closed school for long enough that they were forced to tack days onto the end of the school year. My brother was in high school at the time, and I recall them creating special days for seniors to take exams, a week or two before everybody else's, so that they could go ahead and graduate and leave. Grades 9-11 remained in school for the full 180 days.

It sucks to be '08 right now.
