Note: Posted by the district as the School Board approved 2026-27 calendars (file dated 5/19/2026); the district's 2026-2027 Student Calendar web page lists the same dates. Non-Student Days (Oct 12, Nov 11, Jan 4, Presidents' Day Feb 15 and Apr 23) are teacher planning/professional learning days with no school for students. Potential hurricane make-up days: Oct 12, Nov 11, Jan 4, Feb 15, Mar 26 and Apr 23. Students are released two hours early on the last day (May 27). The calendar prints 180 student days (semesters of 87 + 93; quarters of 43, 44, 46 and 47). Counting its grid gives quarters of 43, 43, 47 and 47 (86 + 94), the same 180 in total; the printed split between quarters 2 and 3 does not match the grid, but every no-school day agrees with the staff calendars in the same file.
