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: 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 PDF prints every break only as 'School Holiday' and the text version as 'Holiday Break'; the names used here come from the district's online calendar, which lists September 21-25 as 'September Break', February 15-19 (starting with Presidents' Day) as 'February Break' and April 5-9 as 'Spring Break', and calls the Thanksgiving week and December 21 - January 1 'Holiday Break'. Remote Learning Days (students learn from home on Canvas while teachers plan; the district uses them to continue instruction, so they are counted as school days here): November 3 (Election Day) and March 9. October 12 and January 4 are student holidays (teacher planning); students return January 5. Early release: October 13-16 for elementary schools only (PK-5 conference days) and January 28-29 for all levels. December 18 and the last day, May 25, have a modified dismissal for middle and high schools. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day. The calendar does not state a number of student days.
