Attachment 12A – School Calendar
Provide a copy of the proposed school’s calendar for its first year of its operation. The calendar must indicate the number
of days of instruction that the school will offer.
The school year at Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant begins in late August and runs through the
end of June. While our calendar shares nearly all vacations and holidays with the New York City
Public Schools, we typically have more days of instruction.. We believe strongly that these extra days
of school are essential to helping our students reach the high standards we set for them.
To begin planning for the year, teachers report in early August.. In total, we provide 26 paid
professional development days before, during, and after the school year to ensure our teachers
receive training and development necessary to creating the excellent instructional practice on which
our success depends.
Our year is divided into four quarters. Families receive on-going progress reports through bimonthly
phone calls with teachers and report cards at the conclusion of each quarter. Below is the
Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant calendar for the 2008-2009 school year. The calendar for 2009-
2010 is still being developed but will closely mirror this current year’s calendar.
