Note: Approved by the Board of Education on June 9, 2026. The color calendar and the list view give the same dates: the last day for students is Thursday, May 25, 2028 (173 student days) and Friday, May 26 is a teacher work day with no students. The district's Calendar at a Glance web page lists May 26 both as "Last Day of School for Students" and as a teacher work day (no students); the approved PDFs say May 25. Professional development days (Sep 17, Feb 18, Apr 21) and teacher work days (Dec 17, Jan 3) are no-school days for students. Thanksgiving week: Nov 22-23 Thanksgiving Break, Nov 24 Compensation Day, Nov 25-26 Thanksgiving Holiday. Winter Break (Dec 20-30) includes the Christmas Holiday on Dec 23-24; Dec 31 (New Years Eve) and Jan 3 (teacher work day) are also no-school days, so school resumes Jan 4. Most Fridays are PLC days with a delayed start. If schools must close, the Board may add school days on Saturdays, during vacations or at the end of the year. The district's Calendar at a Glance page lists May 26, 2028 as the last day for students while both PDFs and the 173-day count give May 25; shown as unconfirmed until the district resolves it.
