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: The calendar states 174.5 student contact days because the last day (June 4) is a half day (first half early release, second half planning day); it is counted here as a full day, so 175 are computed. First day of school is August 24 for K-12 and August 25 for ECE. Planning and professional learning days (Sep 28, Oct 30, Jan 4, Feb 26, Apr 30) and the October 12 conference day are no-school days for students. The calendar shows the vacation weeks by color without naming them; March 31, inside the spring vacation week, is a holiday. The district's online events calendar calls November 23-27 "Fall Break (No Classes)" and December 21-January 1 "Winter Break (No Classes)", so DPS's fall break is Thanksgiving week.
