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: Dates read from a color-coded grid with legend; the key-dates list agrees. Early dismissal at 12:00 noon on Dec 18 (end of first semester) and on May 21 (last day of school). The calendar says it is subject to change and can be extended due to inclement weather, but no make-up days are named. Oct 9, Jan 4 and Jan 18 are shown as Optional Teacher Workdays and are colored as non-school days; Jan 18 is labeled 'Optional Teacher Workday (MLK Day)'. The document does not state approval or adoption, so status is unknown. Presidents' Day (Feb 15) is a regular school day on the grid.
