Note: Balanced calendar approved by the School Board on July 18, 2024 and amended at the April 23, 2026 Board meeting (conference early release days added; the district's news on that meeting says the 2027-28 February Break, February 21-25, was moved to align with Presidents' Day). The PDF prints every break only as 'School Holiday' and the text version as 'Holiday Break'; the district's online calendar does not list 2027-28 yet, so only the February Break carries the district's name here. The winter break runs December 20 - January 3 (January 3 is also a school holiday; the second semester starts January 4). Remote Learning Days (students learn from home on Canvas while teachers plan; counted as school days here): November 2 (Election Day) and March 14. October 11 is a student holiday (teacher planning). Early release: October 12-15 for elementary schools only (PK-5 conference days) and January 27-28 for all levels. December 17 and the last day, May 24, have a modified dismissal for middle and high schools. Memorial Day (May 29) falls after the last day. The calendar does not state a number of student days.
