Dear Lake Ridge Families,

The Indiana Department of Education has approved Lake Ridge New Tech Schools to recover the instructional time lost due to the storm by using the additional instructional minutes already built into our current district calendar.

As a result, the only changes to the district calendar will affect the following professional development days:

October 14, 2026
January 6, 2027
March 10, 2027
These dates will now be regular student instructional days. All students should report to school according to their normal schedules.

No other changes will be made to the current district calendar.

Thank you for your continued patience, flexibility, and support.

Sincerely,
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools
