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: Marked "APPROVED 3/25" on the calendar. Students in kindergarten, 6th and 9th grade start Wednesday, August 12; all K-12 students are in session from Thursday, August 13 (used here as the first day); PreKindergarten starts August 18. LPS calls both its October 15-19 and March 8-12 breaks "LPS Quarter Break" (its 2026-27 date list; shown here as fall and spring break); October 19 is a professional learning/planning day inside the October break (the district's online event calendar lists the quarter break as October 15-16 and October 19 as a planning day, with the same days off). Professional learning/planning days are no-school days for students: September 8, November 30, January 4, February 15 (the Presidents' Day Monday) and April 5. Winter break is the "LPS Semester Break" starting December 23; January 4 is a planning day and classes resume January 5. April 30 is also a no-school day. Graduations: May 18 (Yankee Hill), May 19 (Independence Academy), May 20 (Bryan Community) and May 21-23 for the comprehensive high schools at Pinnacle Bank Arena. No make-up days are designated: lost time may be made up with added minutes or days or by turning non-student days into student days. The calendar states no number of student days. The district's online event calendar (read from the website's content service) lists the same no-school days, last day and graduations, and the middle school X/Y rotation calendar marks 175 school days from August 12, consistent with this calendar. A 2027-28 student calendar is also posted but marked "Version 2.3, subject to revision" with no approval, so it is not included.
