Note: Posted on the district calendars page as the 2027-28 Family and Student Calendar; the document does not say whether it was board-approved. It states 174.5 instructional days because the last day (June 2) is a half day with early release; it is counted here as a full day, so 175 are computed. First day of school is August 23 for K-12 and August 24 for ECE. October 11 is a conference day with no classes. The district's key-dates list gives the winter vacation as December 20, 2027 to January 3, 2028. October 12 and March 3 are shaded "Vacation or Staff Learning / No Classes" on the calendar but are not on the key-dates vacation list (which has no staff learning column); either way students have no classes. The calendar shows the vacation weeks by color without naming them; March 31, inside the spring vacation week, is a holiday. The district calendar page was read via Web Archive capture of 2026-09-14 (the site shows a bot check); the PDF was downloaded directly.
