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: Adopted by the Board of Education January 8, 2024; this is the districtwide K-12 (All Schools) calendar linked on the district calendar page, which also links separate calendars for individual high schools, preschool and special programs (the high school calendars add their own phase-in, finals and graduation days; Cherry Creek High School's, for example, marks Aug 14 as a phase-in day). The PDF is a color-coded grid without names for the breaks: Oct 12-16, Nov 26-27, Dec 21-Jan 1 and Mar 15-19 are marked No School for Students and Staff; the district's online events calendar on the same page names them Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break and Spring Break. Sept 18, Nov 25, Jan 4 and Feb 16 are K-12 non-contact days (no school for students). High school students (grades 9-12) have school on the K-8 non-contact/conference days (Cherry Creek High School's calendar shows them as school days). If schools must close for more than two days, the Board will amend the calendar to add school days. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day of school.
