RADFORD – Parents, guardians and other members of the Radford City Public Schools community are being asked to participate in a survey choosing one of two options for the 2022-23 school calendar.
The two choices follow meetings of each school’s leadership team and a survey of all staff members. Now, the community can weigh in.
“RCPS administration met with each school’s Building Leadership Team (BLT) during February to discuss the 2022-2023 School Calendar,” reads an announcement from Radford City schools. “Feedback from the team was collected and used to create a slide deck to inform staff members about what was discussed in the meetings and to guide them when taking the calendar survey.”
The results of the staff survey are available at the start of the community survey on the school system website www.rcps.org as a slide deck titled 2022-2023 School Calendar Survey.
“There are a few results that differ from school to school, such as the staggered first days, and RCPS will most likely conference with each school in its decision whether or not to stagger the first day,” the announcement said. “From the results of the staff, two calendars have been created: Calendar Draft A and Calendar Draft B. RCPS encourages the school community to review the slide deck and to take the 2022-2023 Calendar Survey.”
The 2022-2023 Calendar Survey opened March 9, 2022, and can be taken until Wednesday, March 30, at noon. Results will be posted on March 31, 2022. The survey can be accessed at www.rcps.og on the home page under the heading “2022-2023 SCHOOL CALENDAR SURVEY.”
The two calendar choices are as follows:
Calendar A –
Staggered First Days (Aug. 15/16)
Holiday Break (Dec. 22 – Jan. 4) Workdays (Jan. 5-6) Students return Jan. 9, 2023

Spring Break (April 10-14)
