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: Board approved 12/15/2025. Read from color-coded grid; the first-day cell (Aug 24) is numbered as instructional day 1 and the last day (Jun 4) as day 173. Optional teacher workdays (light blue W) have no student day number, so they are no school for students. Feb 15 is an optional teacher workday (W), not a marked holiday, so presidents_day is left empty; May 3 is also an optional teacher workday. Holidays on the grid are not named, so the holiday fields are assigned by date and the grid's H marking. Mar 26 and Nov 11 are marked H with no name. Nov 25 is a teacher workday just before Thanksgiving. Dec 21 and Jan 4 are teacher workdays next to winter break. Last day Jun 4 is an early release/half day. The calendar lists no weather make-up days.
