Note: Elementary schools (ES). Every Wednesday is a modified day. Parent conferences: Nov 16 (no school) and modified days Nov 17-20 and Mar 8-12. Board Approved: January 23, 2024 (as printed on the calendar). The posted file (uploaded July 2026, the only 2026-27 calendar on the district's calendar page) is a revision of the January 2024 board-approved calendar with the same no-school days. Students attend school 180 days. A "Modified Day" is a shortened day for students and is listed here as early release. Student free days differ by level: all TK-12 schools except Educational Options (OP) have no school Oct 30 and Feb 19; elementary schools also Nov 16, intermediate schools Oct 5 and high schools Dec 18; Educational Options schools Oct 9, Dec 18 and Mar 5. Nov 11 and Feb 12 are marked only as "Holiday". Memorial Day (May 31) and June 18 are holidays after the last day of school. Conflict: this English calendar and the January 2024 board version list an elementary modified day on Mar 19 (intermediate Mar 26), but the district's Spanish calendar lists elementary Mar 26 and intermediate Mar 19, each the day after that level's open house (intermediate Mar 18, elementary Mar 25); the approved English date is kept.
