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 ratified update replaced the version approved Nov. 13, 2025 (180 days): it added furlough days with no school (July 31, Feb. 12 and May 12) and made Jan. 4 the first day of the second term instead of a teacher workday. The calendar marks the breaks only as Break/No School; the district's interactive calendar names them Fall Break (Oct. 12-13, with Columbus Day on Oct. 12), Thanksgiving Break (Nov. 23-27), Winter Break, Spring Break (March 15-19) and April Break (April 23). That interactive calendar still shows the earlier version (Winter Break - No School Dec. 18 - Jan. 4, no furlough days); the ratified calendar and the district's 5-day and 6-day rotation calendars (updated May 28 and July 27, 2026) all have school on Jan. 4. Dec. 18 is a teacher workday. Early release: 30 Modified Wednesdays (all schools release two hours early); Dec. 17 and May 20, the last days of each term, are marked early release for high schools and elementary schools; elementary schools also release early for conferences Oct. 8-9 and Feb. 11, and high schools only on Nov. 4, Dec. 16 and May 19. The calendar states 179 instructional days (90 + 89). Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day of school.
