The school calendar for 2025-26 was officially set at the February 14 meeting of the Red River Parish School Board. Superintendent Strong shared that several options were reviewed by a committee of educators/staff, who then selected two versions for a system-wide vote.  This was the overwhelming favorite.

It is very similar to last year’s schedule. 

Red River schools will again follow the balanced calendar model with virtual Fridays. According to principals and teachers, “This model has proven to not only be a favorite of staff and students, but RRPSB has also seen many improvements since its implementation.” 

Staff will begin preparing for the year through Staff Development on Thursday, July 31, and Friday, August 1.  Students start Monday, August 4.  

Intersessions will take place during each grading period. Fall Intersession runs October 4-9; Winter, February 9-12; and Spring, March 30-April 2.

June 16 will be the last day for students. Staff finishes the year on June 18.
