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: Document does not say the calendar is board-approved, so status is unknown. June 22, 2027 is labeled 'Projected Last Day' and the calendar is subject to change due to weather/school closings. 'One-session days' (Nov 25, Dec 23, Mar 25, May 28) are listed on the document as shortened days before recesses; they are treated as early release. Sept 4, 2026 is also a one-session day, but it is before the first day of school. Sept 8-9 staff in-service and Sept 7 Labor Day come before the first day. Presidents Day Recess is Feb 12-15, 2027 (Fri and Mon). Tentative one-session staff workshops are planned for October 2026, December 2026 and February 2027, but no dates are given, so they may be additional early-dismissal days. Mandatory summer school runs June 29-July 27, 2026. June 19, 2027 (Juneteenth) is a Saturday and is not shown as a holiday.
