Note: The APS Board of Education adopted the calendars for 2025-26 and 2026-27 on December 4, 2024 (district news of December 5, 2024); the district noted that snow days could limit spring conference days and that calendars are subject to change by legislative mandates. Most APS schools, including traditional and Transformational Opportunity Pilot Schools (TOPs), follow this calendar; College & Career High School follows the CNM academic calendar. Grades 1-12 start Friday, August 7; Pre-K and kindergarten start Tuesday, August 11. Fall Break (Oct. 9) is followed by Indigenous Peoples' Day (Oct. 12), so there is no school Oct. 9-12. Nov. 23-24 and March 29-30 are K-12 parent-teacher conference days with virtual (sync/asynchronous) learning for students, not days off. Spring Break (March 22-25) is followed by the Vernal Holiday (March 26). Jan. 4 is a professional development day with no school for students; students return Jan. 5. Graduation week is May 17-21. Dates read from the district's 2026-27 calendar page via a Web Archive capture of May 27, 2026 (aps.edu blocks this network and no later capture of the page exists) and re-checked on Sept. 26, 2026 against the live "APS SY 2026-2027 Calendar" Google Calendar feed that the page links as its calendar import (28 events, last edited by the district June 26, 2026): every date matches. Neither the page nor the feed lists early release days, but the printable PDF calendar was never archived and cannot be opened from this network, so early release days are not confirmed.
