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 PDF (and the district's Calendar at a Glance page) says approved by the Board of Education on June 18, 2024; the district's calendar page labels the 2026-27 conventional calendar approved June 9, 2026, but the files it links under that label are these same PDFs (unchanged as of Sep 26, 2026). The color, black-and-white and list versions, the Calendar at a Glance page and the district's online event calendar give the same dates. Professional development days (Sep 21, Nov 6, Apr 23) and teacher work days (Dec 18, Jan 4) are no-school days for students. Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27) includes a Compensation Day (Nov 25); Feb 12 is also a Compensation Day with schools closed. 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. Renaissance Elementary Magnet School, Daniel C. Oakes High School and Eagle Academy have their own calendars.
