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: Read from a color-coded grid; monthly student attendance counts (sum 155) match the reading. Students attend a four-day week: Mondays are no school (yellow Non School / Non Contract) except the listed Student Monday Attendance Days: Aug 24, Aug 31, Nov 2, Nov 23, Dec 14, Dec 21, Mar 22, May 24. Mondays that are no school appear in days_off or in the holiday, teacher workday and make-up fields. Weather make-up days are marked with asterisks on Mondays (Jan 25, Feb 8, Mar 1, Apr 26, May 10) and are no school unless needed; the legend text about make-up days is cut off in the document. Winter break is Dec 25-Jan 1; Dec 23-24 and Jan 4 are teacher work days, so students are out Dec 23 through Jan 4 and return Jan 5. Dec 22 is the last day of the semester before break. Nov 25-27 is the Thanksgiving break; Nov 23 is a student attendance day. Mar 26 is a no-school Friday with no label. No spring break is shown. Oct 20-23 is Parent Teacher Conference Week (light gray), and attendance counts show students in school. Professional development no-school days are Mar 8 and Apr 5. Last day is May 27; Seniors' last day is May 19. Memorial Day and Juneteenth fall after the last day. The document does not say the calendar is board-approved.
