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 document does not say the calendar is board-approved, so status is unknown. Oct 7 and Feb 11 are parent-teacher conference days with early student dismissal. Four potential make-up days (Nov 23, Nov 24, Feb 16, Mar 26) are no school unless the superintendent activates them after a weather or emergency closure. Feb 15 is listed as 'Winter Holiday', not by a Presidents' Day name. The Oct 12 holiday is listed as 'Fall Holiday'. Graduation dates are for SEHS and ECHS only.
