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: No board approval is stated on the document (dated 4.14.2026). The document states 181 student days for K-6 and 182 for grades 7-12, but its own monthly student counts (18, 21, 17, 16/17, 19, 14, 19, 15, 20, 18) add up to 177 (K-6) and 178 (7-12), which is what the grid gives; the staff count (184) does add up. Because of that conflict the stated total is not used. The December break is called Holiday Recess (Dec 24-31); the Feb 15-19 week is called Winter Break (Presidents' Day is not named but falls in it). Emergency make-up days: March 29 (1st) and April 19 (2nd). If March 29 cannot be used, April 20 becomes the second make-up day. April 19-20 fall inside Passover/Spring Recess (Apr 19-27), so the recess may be shortened if snow days are needed. Nov 25 is a half day for students (the only day marked Early Dismissal); Nov 24 has a 15-minute early 'rapid dismissal'. Feb 12, Mar 18 and Mar 19 are no school for students. Nov 3 is Superintendents Conference Day/Election Day, no school for students. Dec 2 is no school for K-6 only (parent/teacher conferences). Regents exam days (Jan 26-29, Jun 15-24) are not marked as no school. Sept 1-2 are Superintendents Conference Days before students start.
