Note: Adopted February 2, 2026; revised 04/15/26 (the version linked on the district's Attendance Calendar page, uploaded to the district's file host Aug 27, 2026). The live page shows a bot check to this network; its last Web Archive capture (May 16, 2026) still linked the original February 2 file, and the only change in the revision is the end of the third quarter (Mar 12 moved to Mar 5), so no student day differs between the two. Every no-school day is marked on the calendar. Nov 23-25 are academic holidays before the Thanksgiving Holidays (Nov 26-27), so students are off the whole week. Christmas Recess (Dec 21-Jan 1) includes Admission Day (In Lieu) on Dec 23; school resumes Jan 4. The district calls its spring break Easter Recess (Mar 22-26, with Mar 26 the Easter Recess Holiday), followed by District Closed on Monday, Mar 29; school resumes Mar 30. Jan 22 is a Non-Student Inservice Day. Teacher orientation is Aug 10-11, before instruction begins. Fall term 86 days, spring term 94 days: 180 instructional days (stated; the month counts agree). Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day.
