Days of Significance
During the month of September there are many days of significance. As your community school we’d like to recognize how important those days are to our families from diverse backgrounds. Days marked with an asterisk (*) indicate that the observance begins at sundown of the preceding day and continues until sundown of the day listed. Days marked with two asterisks (**) indicate that the observance may vary based on moon sightings that indicate the start of observance.
