Early out: Nov 25, Dec 17 (before Winter Break), Mar 18 (before Spring Break) and May 27 (last day, marked early release on the district calendar). Parent/Teacher Conferences Oct 21-22 and Mar 16-17 are early release days for elementary, middle and some combined schools only. Jan 4 is a no-school professional development day.
