UPDATE 4.5.21
Greeting Atlas Families,
We are writing to you today to share an important update. Atlas Preparatory Schools will be modifying the academic calendar for May and June. This will mean eliminating the May Break and beginning Summer Break on June 12.
School programming through June 11 will focus on supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of all students. Due to local health restrictions last Fall, the academic school year started 3-weeks later than planned. This change will help provide the same amount of academic instruction as a traditional school year.
We recognize that this is a change in the planned calendar for the year and that some families may have already planned trips during the original May break dates (May 24-28). If this is the case, we will excuse your child from school and ask that you notify the school of your planned absences. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to your student’s advisor.
Please see below for more information about individual school calendars and how we made this decision.
Middle School and High School Students:
- For the MS, 4th Quarter will run from March 29- June 11 (No school the week of June 14-18)
- Hours 9:00 am – 2:40 pm Mon – Thurs and 9:00 am – 1:40 pm Fri.
- For the HS, 4th Quarter will run from March 29 – May 7. Quarter 5 will run from May 10 – June 11 (No school for the week of June 14-18)
- Summer for all students will begin on Saturday, June 12.
- There will be no May break (originally planned for May 24-May 28)
- We will continue to observe Memorial Day on May 31 – No School
Elementary School Students:
- 4th quarter will be from March 29-June 11 (No school the week of June 14-18)
- Summer for all students will begin on Saturday, June 12.

We appreciate all the work you have done to support your student through the past year, navigating new challenges and changing schedules. As stated before, we recognize this is a change in the anticipated schedule, but we believe this is the best decision for the continuity of learning for this year. We are looking forward to closing out this year in a strong way for all students and returning in the Fall for another great year.
