Note: Linked next to the 2026-27 calendar; the Board of Education approved the 2026-27 and 2027-28 calendars on Feb. 23, 2026 (minutes, Superintendent's Recommendation 3). The posted file (Sept. 2026 upload) has the same student dates as the board-approved draft and the April 2026 Spanish version on the same page, and no furlough days. Oct. 11 is a teacher workday and Nov. 1, Jan. 3 and March 6 are district professional development days, all with no students. The Thanksgiving week (Nov. 22-26) is shown as Holiday/Break days; Nov. 24 and Feb. 7 are Teacher Conference Exchange Days with no school. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are observed Dec. 23-24 and New Year's Day on Dec. 31, inside Winter Recess. The calendar states 171 student days; the quarter counts printed in the dates list add up to 175 (third quarter printed as 45 days, 41 on the grid), but the grid and the 171-day total agree. Memorial Day (May 29) and Juneteenth (June 19) fall after the last day of school.
