October 11 (Indigenous Peoples' Day), November 2 (Election Day), January 3, February 21 (Presidents' Day) and March 20 are teacher professional learning days: students do not report. September 20 is a PreK-12 early release day. Memorial Day (May 29) and Juneteenth (June 19) fall after the last day of school.
