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 January 22, 2026. Students start Sep 8 (Sep 1-2 are staff development days, Sep 3 is organization day; Labor Day, Sep 7, is before the first day). The calendar lists Dec 24 (Christmas Eve), Dec 25 (Christmas Day), Dec 28-30 (Winter Recess), Dec 31 (New Year's Eve) and Jan 1 (New Year's Day) as no-school days; students return Jan 4. 1:00 pm dismissal for students on the parent/teacher conference days Nov 18 and Feb 8, on Nov 25 and Dec 23, and on the last day, June 28. If schools must close for inclement weather and days have to be made up, they will be made up during Spring Recess or added at the end of the school year. Staff development days Oct 21, Jan 27 and Feb 24 are no-school days for students (the district's online calendar marks them 'Schools Closed for Students' and agrees with every date above). The separate 12-month calendar on the same page is an employee holiday calendar.
