Due to weather delays, cancellations, and the early dismissal on December 22 for winter break, Ottumwa Schools has missed several days of school this year. The district had time built into the 2020-21 calendar to cover up to five missed days, leaving 12.41 hours that will need to be made-up. Here is the plan for making up that time:
- Friday, May 14, 21, and 28 were scheduled 1 p.m. dismissal days for professional development. Students will now have three full days of classes on those Fridays. Classes will dismiss at 3:15 p.m. on those Fridays.
- Tuesday, June 1 will be the last student attendance day. Classes will dismiss at 2:10 p.m.
- Wednesday, June 2 will be the last day for teachers.
