Sarasota Schools: Here are the important dates to mark on your calendar for 2024-25

As the 2024-25 Sarasota Schools academic year draws near , there are some essential dates to mark on your calendar.

Some dates are national holidays, where students don't have school. Other dates include the first and last day of school, as well as different holiday breaks such as Thanksgiving and Spring Break.

If there were days when the school district closed schools because of inclement weather, such as a hurricane, the district would make those days up in the dates following the last day of school, according to the district's posted calendar.
