Note: Approved May 7, 2025 together with the 2026-27 calendar (last modified January 16, 2026). The calendar counts 47 + 43 + 51 + 39 = 180 days in its four nine-week periods. Staff planning days with no school for students: Oct 7, Jan 3 and Feb 21 (Presidents' Day); with the Fall Holiday (Oct 8) and Columbus Day (Oct 11) students are off Oct 7-11, and they return from winter break on Jan 4 (Dec 31 is the New Year's Day holiday). Spring Break is Mar 27-31; Apr 14 (Good Friday) is a separate Spring Break Holiday. Nov 12 and Feb 18 are remote-learning half days: students stay home and learn remotely; they count as school days. Designated make-up days are Nov 22-23 and Mar 27-28 (no school unless needed; if needed they are held in person or as remote learning days, as the Superintendent decides). Memorial Day (May 29) and Juneteenth (June 19) fall after the last day of school.
