Dear Cairo-Durham Central School District Families,
I am writing to you today to inform you that school will be closed on Friday, May 24, 2024 through Tuesday, May 28, 2024. With a mild winter leading to a limited use of snow days, the District is able to lengthen the Memorial Day weekend.
We hope the extended weekend, with Memorial Day on Monday, May 27, 2024, will find students and staff refreshed for the final stretch of the 2023-24 school year when they return on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding!
Sincerely,
Michael Wetherbee
Superintendent of Schools
Cairo-Durham Central School District
