Kids who thought they’d be spending at least four Saturdays at school this year can breathe a sigh a relief.

Fayetteville Public Schools officials yesterday released a revised make-up day schedule after hearing complaints from parents over how many Saturday classes were listed on the original schedule.

The new schedule includes make-up days on two Mondays, one Tuesday, one Wednesday, two Fridays and one Saturday.

If additional make-up days are needed, classes will continue further into June. If classes are canceled five more times this year, a second Saturday class would be needed on May 3.

The full, revised make-up day schedule is listed below.
