The district's calendars page shows a browser check to this network and the Web Archive has no recent capture of it; the archived documents index of the site (Sep 13, 2026) lists its Calendars folder, the Web Archive copy of the PDF from Aug 11, 2026 is identical, and the district's online calendar (Web Archive capture of Sep 17, 2026) shows the same dates from Aug 10 to Jan 18. Thanksgiving Break for students is Nov 23-27. Professional Days (no school for students) Oct 12, Jan 4 and Mar 12; Mini Breaks Mar 26 and Apr 16. The seven days marked 'inclement weather makeup day if needed' are all no-school days for students unless the district needs them: Oct 12, Jan 4, Mar 12, Mar 26, Apr 16, and May 27-28 (after the last day, May 26, so the year would be extended). No early release days are shown. The calendar does not state the number of student days (the grid gives 180). Memorial Day (May 31) is after the last day.
