Note: For schools on the traditional calendar. The district calendars page (read via Web Archive capture of 2026-09-12; the live site shows a bot check) lists it as "Board Approved 07.01.26"; the PDF itself prints "Board Approved 03102026". The calendar is a dated list and does not use the words Thanksgiving Break or Spring Break; the district's online events calendar calls March 29 - April 1 "Spring Break for Traditional Schools" and lists Nov. 24-27 (Thanksgiving is Nov. 26) as student holidays. Students are also off on the adjacent Nov. 23, Dec. 21, March 25 and April 2 (teacher workdays) and March 26 (Student/All Staff Holiday), so the breaks run Nov. 23-27, Dec. 21 - Jan. 1 and March 25 - April 2; school resumes Jan. 4 and April 5. February 15 is a teacher workday and the make-up day if needed. Early release days are two-hour early releases. The calendar does not state a student day count. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day of school.

School starts July 16 (year-round). Intersessions (no school): Sept. 21 - Oct. 9 and March 22 - April 9; there is no separately named spring break. Students are also off on the adjacent teacher workdays Sept. 18, Nov. 23, Dec. 21, Jan. 8, Jan. 11 and March 19, so winter break runs Dec. 21 - Jan. 11 and school resumes Jan. 12.
