Background Information
Each year, Edina High School has historically been approved to begin their day later or dismiss early for events related to orientation, student testing, student support, staff development and final exams. This results in 13 modifications to the calendar year. Two of the days have yet to be identified by the Minnesota Department of Education related to MCA tests. The process has been reviewed by the Edina High School leadership team and the administration.
