Altus Public Schools would like to notify you of a change in the District’s calendar that will occur on Friday, May 16. Altus Public Schools is required by law to be in session 1080 hours a school year. Due to the amount of time school has been released this year, Altus Public Schools is two hours short.
We will make up those two hours virtually on Friday, May 16, 2025. Classroom teachers will communicate expectations to students and parents through the Altus app in ROOMS. Teachers will be available to answer questions through the ROOMS app or school email.
