Note: Approved by the DPSCD Board of Education on June 16, 2026 (board minutes) and published as the 'Official 2026-2027 School Year DPSCD Calendar' (news post, June 29, 2026). Dates are read from the color-coded grid; the breaks are not named on the calendar (shown as 'Schools and District Closed' plus District Recognized Holidays). The board item calls the week of March 29-April 2 Spring Break; Friday March 26 is a separate District Recognized Holiday. District In-Person PD days (Sep 28, Nov 3, Jan 25) are no school for students. Make-up days for emergency closures: the calendar text says they are pre-scheduled June 9-17 (the board item says June 9-18), but the grid marks only June 14-17 as student make-up days. Ten Wednesdays are marked School Based Professional Development, and parent-teacher conferences are K-8 Oct 21 and Mar 24, high schools Oct 14 and Mar 17; the calendar does not say students are dismissed early on those days, and the board version counts them as student days (175 student days in all). Juneteenth (June 18) is after the last day.
