Note: Approved March 19, 2026; the district home page links this board-approved version (it only corrects a typo in the March file), and the calendar says it is subject to change. Teacher in-service days with no school for students: Oct 9, Dec 18, Jan 4 and Jan 5; students return from Winter Break on Wednesday, January 6. March 12 is an Asynchronous Instructional Day (B-Day): the legend calls it an 'Asynchronous Instructional Day for Students' and the district's online calendar says students learn from home that day (no students at school sites) while teachers have in-service, so it is counted as a school day here. The PDF lists March 26 - April 2 as 'Good Friday & Spring Break'; the district's online calendar shows Good Friday (March 26) and Spring Break (March 29 - April 2) as separate events and runs Winter Break through January 5. Presidents' Day (February 15) is a school day. Last day for graduating seniors: May 7. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (observed June 21) fall after the last day of school. The calendar does not state a number of student days.
