Note: District-wide calendar for all SUHSD middle and high schools (grades 7-12); Options Middle College High School has its own calendar (next entry). School starts in July: first day for students is Wednesday, July 22, 2026 (pre-service days July 20-21). October 5 and January 11 are non-instructional days with no students, so school resumes October 6 after Fall Break and January 12 after Winter Break. Spring Break (March 22 - April 2) includes Cesar Chavez Day (March 31). The grid's monthly totals give 180 student days. The district's online calendar (sweetwaterschools.org/calendars) shows the same first day and break dates. No board adoption record was found: the calendar and the district's calendar page do not mention approval (only the file name says '2026-2027 Student Calendar -FINAL 10-27-23'), and the board's agenda portal (Simbli) is blocked to this network, so the status is unknown. The matching 184-day certificated calendar was signed by the district and the teachers' union (SEA). Juneteenth (June 18) is after the last day of school.

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. No board adoption record was found: the calendar and the district's calendar page do not mention approval (only the file name says '2026-2027OSSMCHSStudentCalendarFINAL'), and the board's agenda portal (Simbli) is blocked to this network, so the status is unknown.
