Note: Adopted by Board of Education March 3, 2026. District 70 follows a 4-day school week (Monday-Thursday): every Friday is red ('School is NOT in Session') on the grid, so each Friday from Aug 14 to May 21 is listed as a no-school day; the Friday teacher workday/PD days (Sep 25, Oct 9, Dec 18, Jan 22, Mar 12) are listed as teacher workdays. First Day of School is Aug 10 (transitional day for 6th and 9th grade, regular day for elementary); Aug 11 is marked 'All Students Begin', so grades 7, 8 and 10-12 start Aug 11. Thanksgiving break is Mon-Thu Nov 23-26, Winter Break Dec 21-31, Spring Break Mon-Thu Mar 22-25 (each followed by a no-school Friday; Jan 1 is also a Friday). MLK Day (Jan 18) and Presidents' Day (Feb 15) are school days. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day (May 27). Parent/teacher conferences (underlined weeks Oct 19-22, Jan 11-14, Mar 29-Apr 1) are school days. Quarter counts 35 + 36 + 40 + 40 = 151 days, matching the grid. Graduation dates are printed on the calendar.
