This is the brief on the Lawrence Township Schools and Community updates. Alright, so as Lawrence Township Schools head into winter break, there are some really important updates you're gonna wanna know about. We're talking holiday schedules, big progress on construction, and even a peak at the twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven school year. First up, let's talk schedule. So just a reminder, students have an early dismissal today, Tuesday, December 23, then schools are closed from the twenty fourth all the way through January 4, with everyone heading back on Monday, January 5.
Speaker 1:And hey, speaking of calendars, they've finalized a big shift for twenty twenty six-twenty twenty seven. School will start September 1 and end June 17, all to maximize learning time in June. Second, you know those facilities projects that were voter approved? Well, they have officially kicked off. The groundbreaking for the Lawrence Middle School auditorium renovation just happened, and wow, they are not wasting any time, all the old seating and flooring?
Speaker 1:Already gone. It's really happening. Finally, let's look ahead to January. There's a really important parent workshop on artificial intelligence, or AI. It's on Wednesday, January 14, from 06:30 to 8PM at the high school.
Speaker 1:Now this one is specifically for families with kids in seventh through twelfth grade, so if that's you, you'll definitely want to be there. So from starting the break to starting major construction and planning for AI, Lawrence Township is really setting the stage for a busy new year.
