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: Board approved January 22, 2026. Weather days if needed: Presidents' Day (Feb 15) and the first two days of Spring Break (Mar 22-23) are no-school days unless they are needed to make up days lost to bad weather. Jan 4 (professional development) and Jan 5 (teacher workday) have no students; students return Jan 6 after the Holiday Break. E-Learning days for students, while teachers have professional development or a workday: Sep 8, Oct 9, Feb 12 and Apr 9 (students learn from home; counted here as school days). Oct 15 and Mar 9 are marked "Opportunity Day (High Schools Only)"; neither the calendar (English or Spanish), the district's and high schools' online calendars nor district posts say whether high school students have regular classes those days, so they are not listed as days off (check with the high school). Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 18) fall after the last day of school. The district's online event calendar and the Spanish version show the same dates.
