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: Read from a color-coded grid. The document does not name any break, so the Thanksgiving and winter break labels are blank. Thanksgiving no-school days are Nov 23-24 (Local Student Non-Attendance) and Nov 25-27 (Holiday). Winter break runs Dec 21 to Jan 8: Dec 21-23 and Dec 28-31 are non-attendance days, Dec 24-25 and Jan 1 are holidays, and Jan 4-8 are non-attendance days. The week of Mar 22-26 is also unnamed on the document, so it is listed under days off (Mar 22-25 non-attendance, Mar 26 holiday) rather than as a spring break. Minimum days: Sep 14, Oct 19, Jan 25 and Mar 15 (district staff development, all grades); Nov 16 and May 3 (grades 7-12); Jun 4 (K-12, last day). Grades K-6 also have minimum-day conference days marked on the grid for Nov 12-13 and Nov 16-20 and Mar 10-12; students attend. The grid shows conference days on Nov 12-13 as well, but page 2 lists the fall K-6 conference period as 11/16-11/20 only. Middle and high school finals are Dec 16-18 and Jun 2-4. Juneteenth (Jun 18) falls after the last day. Staff-only days (Aug 10-12) fall before the first day.
