Note: Board approved January 13, 2026; dates agree with the district's 2026-2027 text calendar and the district's online calendar. Two-hour early release on Aug 26, Sep 23, Oct 28, Jan 27, Feb 24, Mar 31 and on the last day, May 26. Jan 4 is a teacher workday and Jan 5 a professional learning day (no school for students); students return from winter break Jan 6. Weather make-up: the January professional learning day (Jan 5, no school unless needed) is used first, then the early release days (school days either way; the district says it will utilize them); if more than three days are missed the school day may be extended. Student days are stated by semester (88 + 92 = 180). Wyomina Park Elementary follows its own intersession calendar (approved 2/24/2026), not covered here. Memorial Day (May 31) is after the last day.
