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: Revised 8/27/2026. The calendar does not say it is board-approved, so status is unknown. It says dates are subject to change and that six emergency makeup days are built in, but no specific makeup dates are given; unused snow days after Memorial Day are forgiven and any additional days extend the school year. Early release list = 2-hour early releases for all grades PK-12 (Dec 22 is finals and the last day of first semester). Grades 6-12 also have 68-minute early releases on most other Wednesdays (Sep 2, 23, 30; Oct 7; Nov 11; Dec 2, 9; Jan 27; Feb 3, 24; Mar 3, 31; Apr 14, 28; May 5, 12, 19). Oct 16 and Mar 19 are no school for PK-5 with 2-hour early release for 6-12. Dec 21 and Jun 2 are finals early release for 9-12 only. Last day is June 3 for grades 6-12 (2-hour early release, finals 9-12); PK-5 has no school June 3, so their last day is June 2. Oct 28 classes are in session with parent-teacher conferences after school. Oct 29 is no classes PK-12 with parent-teacher conferences 10am-8pm. Nov 3 and Apr 6 are PD Day and Election Day, no classes PK-12. Winter break runs Dec 23-Jan 4, no classes. Aug 20 is a PD day before the first day. Monthly student-day counts on the grid add up to 177; no annual total is stated.
