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: Only for Options Middle College High School (OMCHS, 'OSS MCHS' on the calendar); all other SUHSD schools use the district calendar. It also lists Southwestern College (SWC) class start dates (August 24 and February 1). First day August 11, 2026 (professional development days August 7 and 10). No fall break. Winter Break runs December 21 - January 15 (the key dates list 'Winter Break (continued)' January 2-15 and the grid marks January 4-15 as no-student days), then MLK Day (January 18) and a non-instructional day (January 19); school resumes January 20. Thanksgiving: only November 26-27 are off (the grid marks November 23-25 as student days and the monthly total of 18 counts them). The key-dates page is headed '2025-2026 School Year Calendar' by mistake and lists Juneteenth as June 19 while the grid shows June 18; the grid and monthly totals (180 days) were used.
