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: Dates read from the key-dates list and the color-coded grid, which agree. Student days: 86 in the first semester and 94 in the second, 180 total. The two Weather Days (Feb 12 and Apr 23) are shown as not instructional days and are not counted in the 180. Their use as make-up days is not spelled out. Confirm with the district whether they are school days if not needed. Half-days: Dec 18, Apr 2 and May 27 are half-days for all students (collaboration days). High school students also have exam half-days Dec 17-18 and May 26-27. The document does not say the calendar is board-approved. Jan 1 is shown as School System Closed. Students return Jan 5 after the Jan 4 teacher work day. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (Jun 18) fall after the last student day. The other pages are employee work schedules that repeat the same student dates.
