Tacoma Public School has extended its school year by three days as the district works to make up lost instruction hours caused by impacts of COVID-19.

The last day of school is now Friday, June 19.

Tacoma students lost five days of instructional hours after Gov. Jay Inslee closed schools across the state on March 13 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

TPS started the year with 176 days of instruction, with the loss bringing that down to 171 days, below the 1,027 instructional hours required by state law.

To make up for the lost instructional time, the district is adding three days to the end of the calendar year.
