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: 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.
