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: Approved by the Board of Education on December 15, 2025 and revised March 16, 2026 (the optional teacher workday on June 1, 2027 moved to August 4, 2026). The district's online calendar shows the same dates but leaves out some of the no-school days (Dec. 23, Dec. 28-31, March 12 and March 29 - April 1).

Early dismissal for students on the parent-teacher conference days Oct. 15 and March 11. Inclement weather makeup days, listed in this order: Dec. 21, Jan. 5, March 12, April 14, April 2, April 1, March 31; students would attend on those days only if they are needed, and the Board may also use early release days and Saturdays.
