Note: The Board of Education approved adjustments on June 25, 2026 (January 14-15 became full days, February 11-12 became elementary early dismissals, June 14-16 were added as weather days); this PDF was updated July 31, 2026 and matches the district's key-dates page. The district says its online calendar is the most up-to-date version and the calendar is subject to change. On early dismissal days schools close 3 hours early; the February 11-12 early dismissals are for elementary schools only (parent-teacher conferences). November 25 is a no-school day for students (parent-teacher conferences, all levels), so students are off November 25-27. School is in session December 21-23; Winter Break runs December 24 - January 1 (the key-dates page marks these closures as state-mandated public school holidays, and the district's online calendar, checked September 26, 2026, shows no closures December 21-23). June 9-11 and June 14-16 may be used as inclement weather days; if weather days are used, June 7-8 may become full days. Pre-K/RECC students start August 27. Class of 2027 graduation dates (Merriweather Post Pavilion) are not yet announced.
