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: Weather make-up days may be used during intersession (yellow days on the calendar: Oct 5-9, Feb 16-19, Apr 5-9), so those breaks could be shortened if school is cancelled for weather. Nov 11 (Teacher Work Day/Conference Day), Jan 4 (Teacher Work Day/Professional Learning Day) and Mar 26 (Teacher Work Day/Conference Day) are no school for students. Independent Learning/PL Days (Aug 28, Oct 30, Feb 15) are listed under staff dates and are counted as student instructional days in the day counts (Day 20 = Aug 28, Day 40 = Sept 28, Day 60 = Nov 2, Day 120 = Feb 24); they are not listed as days off. Confirm with the district what students do on those days. Dec 18 and May 27 are early release days for all students. The calendar says it was adopted by the board June 20, 2024 and is subject to modification by budget review. Students return Jan 5.
