Good Friday and the Wellesley Public Schools Academic Calendar
In March of 2024, the Wellesley School Committee appointed a task force, made up of members of the School Committee, faculty and staff, parents, and students, to make recommendations regarding the observance of religious and cultural holidays within the Wellesley Public Schools Academic Calendar.
