Note: The district Calendar page shows this as the 2026-2027 Year-at-a-Glance. The PDF is dated Nov. 3, 2025 and marked 'Subject to revision'; no approval statement is printed, and no calendar item appears in the Board of Education's 2025-26 agendas and minutes. adams12.org blocks this network (Cloudflare): the Calendar page was read via a Common Crawl capture of Sept. 16, 2026 (the Web Archive's latest is June 10, 2026), which links this PDF; on Sept. 26, 2026 the file host still served this same file under both district calendar file names (Calendar_26-27_English.pdf, and Calendar_English.pdf re-uploaded May 22, 2026), and the page's online calendar for Aug.-Sept. 2026 shows the same dates. First day for all students is Aug. 11; Aug. 10 is orientation for 6th and 9th graders (not at K-8 schools). Staff workdays with no school for students: Sept. 8, Sept. 28, Nov. 2, Dec. 18, Jan. 4, Feb. 16, March 8, April 12 and May 3; high schools may pick a different day in April and in May. No student day count is printed. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day of school.
