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: The PDF (file name '...Academic-Calendar-Updated') ends with an empty 'Adopted:' line, so no adoption date is given. The calendar states 180 student days (87 + 93). Nov. 23-24, Dec. 21-22 and Jan. 5 are hurricane make-up days if needed, so school may be held on them. The calendar does not name the winter break: all district sites are closed Dec. 21-31 and Jan. 1 (New Year's Day); Jan. 4 (teachers return/record day) and Jan. 5 (district inservice) have no students, and students return Jan. 6. Oct. 12 and Mar. 12 are record days with no school for students. Professional learning early release on Oct. 28 and Feb. 10; early release for all schools May 25-27. Elementary-only early release on Sep. 25, Oct. 2, Feb. 26 and Mar. 11; high school early release Dec. 16-18 (exams). The 2027-2028 Academic Calendar posted in the same folder (adopted by the School Board on June 9, 2026) is listed separately.
