AKRON — The Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation board of trustees approved the 2017-2018 master school calendar at its regularly scheduled meeting Dec. 12.

Superintendent Brett Boggs said the calendar is almost identical to the current 2016-2017 school calendar, with only minimal differences between the two.

The newly-approved calendar features 91 days of school for students in the first semester and 89 days of school in the second semester. School will begin on Monday, Aug. 7, 2017 and end Thursday, May 17, 2018.

Ten emergency make-up days prior to graduation are built in. The calendar also features a three-day Thanksgiving vacation for students, an 11-day Christmas break, and a week off in the spring.
