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: Classes begin August 11; kindergarten begins August 13 (staggered start, not a day off). Contact days differ by level: elementary 170, middle 174, high 175, so no single instructional day count is given. Oct 13 is Elem Conference/MS/HS In-Service (No School), listed under teacher workdays. Sept 28 is Teacher Ed Effectiveness day and Jan 5 is a Teacher In-Service day; both are listed as teacher workdays because they sit under the 'All Schools Classes Not in Session' legend heading. May 26 (teacher workday) falls after the last student day and is excluded. Memorial Day (May 31) is after the last day of school. Check your school for parent-teacher conference dates.
