We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: The School Board approved this updated 2026-27 calendar (ASD Memorandum #160) on April 21, 2026. The posted calendar is marked Revised 6-24-26 and has the same student dates as the version posted as the approved calendar (Revised 5-19-26). Staggered start at comprehensive/neighborhood schools: grades 1-6 and 9 start Wednesday, August 19; grades 7-8 and 10-12 Thursday, August 20; preschool and kindergarten Wednesday, August 26. Student release days (no school for students): grading days October 16, December 18 and March 12, and professional development days October 30, November 3 (State Election Day) and February 26. December 17 is the last day of classes before Winter Break (December 21-31); New Year's Day is also a holiday and classes resume January 4. Early release for parent/teacher conferences on October 28-29 (all levels) and February 24-25 (elementary only). Memo #160 turned the earlier "possible closure makeup" days into instructional days, so no make-up days are designated; April 19, 2027 is a school day. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 18) fall after the last day. 175 student days = sum of the quarter counts printed on the calendar (40+39+46+50), counted from August 19. The district's online Google calendar lists the same dates but omits the March 12 grading day, which the calendar and the approved Memo #160 attachment both show as a student release day.
