**Make-up Snow Days: March 10th, May 15th, and May 16th will be allotted for make-up snow days. Should CGS call off for inclement weather, and need to make up the hours to meet minimum hour standards, we will use Teacher Workdays as make-up days. If adjustments in the schedule are needed, it will be communicated to caregivers as soon as possible. Regardless, the last day of school will be an early release day and MayPole will be held on the evening of the last day of school.
