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 district calls its Dec 21-Jan 1 break 'Semester Break' and the February 15-19 week 'Winter Break'. ELBC (Extended Learning Beyond the Classroom) days on Aug 24, Sep 8 and Nov 3 (Election Day), 2026 and Mar 15, 2027 are virtual instructional days: students learn from home while teachers plan, so they count as school days here. Jan 4 is a Professional Learning Day. The grid does not shade Jan 18, but the calendar's own Holidays list, the calendars page and the district's 180-day and 190-day employee calendars all show MLK Day Jan 18 as a day off; with Jan 18 off and the ELBC days counted, Aug 3-May 26 has 180 student days (no count is printed on the calendar). Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 18) fall after the last day. The calendar says the Board of Education may adjust it for weather or other unforeseen circumstances. The page lists it as the current calendar without approval wording. Dates read from the original image (resources.finalsite.net StudentCalendar2026-20271.png); source.url is the district link to it.
