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 June 12, 2025. The key-dates list gives Winter Break (students) as Dec 21 - Jan 4, but the grid shades Jan 4 as a Workday / Staff Development Day (second semester Work Day); students return Jan 5. April 30, 2027 is a Weather Day with the school system closed; if it is needed as a make-up day it becomes a school day. E-Learning/Collaboration Days (Sep 4, 2026 and Feb 12, 2027) are instructional days at home, not days off. Half-days for students (grid, brown): Dec 18, 2026 and May 25-26, 2027 (graduations; May 26 is the last student day). Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth fall after the last day of school. The number of instructional days is not stated.
