Note: The 2026-2027 Traditional School Year Calendar linked on the district's School Year Calendars page (file uploaded July 17, 2024, still the current link); the Board of Education adopted the 2025-26 and 2026-27 Traditional School Calendars on July 16, 2024 (BoardDocs item 3.1, motion carried). Dates are read from the color-coded grid and the key-dates list, which agree. Oct 2 ('Teacher Work Day (Elementary)/Non-Student Day') and Dec 18 ('Teacher Work Day (Middle/High School)/Non-Student Day') are no-school days for all students; the level names which teachers work. The district's 2026-27 classified work calendar for staff who work only student days (Traditional 9M PT, 180 days, one calendar for all traditional schools, accepted by the Board July 7, 2026) is off on Oct 2, Oct 5 and Dec 18, and with those days off the year has 180 student days (the count is not printed on the student calendar). Monday, Oct 5 is an unnamed 'Vacation/Non-Student Day' on the grid (not in the key-dates list); full-year staff work that day, so it is not a holiday. Nov 27 is also Admission's Day (Observed). Winter Recess runs through Jan 8 (school resumes Jan 11); Spring Break is two weeks. Minimum days for all students: Aug 3 (first day), Dec 17, May 28 and Jun 1-3 (last day, listed with graduation); Dec 15-16 are minimum days for high schools only (final exams). Elementary Parent/Teacher Conferences Oct 29-Nov 6 and Feb 25-Mar 5 are drawn as minimum days for elementary students (full days for all other students). Juneteenth (Jun 18) falls after the last day. Middle College High School and Inland Career Education Center have separate calendars.
