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: The Board of Education adopted the 2026-27 calendar on Feb 24, 2026 (resolution 10.01, passed 8-0 per the board minutes); the board-approved monthly calendar (Exhibit A) has the same student dates and its monthly counts total 176 student days, as computed here. The district calendar page links this Year at a Glance (Sept 4, 2026) together with the '2026-27 Approved Calendar' (a monthly calendar still watermarked DRAFT) and a 2026-27 Academic Calendar; both, and the district's online calendar feed, show the same dates. The calendar says all dates are subject to change. Kindergarten starts Aug 28 and pre-K Sept 8 (pre-K phase-in Sept 1-4); pre-K's last day is June 2. Downtown Education Center and The School of One (TSO1) students start Aug 10 and end June 16. Nov 2 is parent-teacher conferences (12:30-7 pm) with no school for students; Feb 12 is a district professional development day with schools closed. Early dismissal Sept 9 (open house) and early release Feb 11 and Apr 14 (parent-teacher conferences). Winter Break (schools closed) is Dec 21-31 and Jan 1 is New Year's Day; students return Jan 4. Juneteenth (observed June 18) is after the last day. No graduation dates are on the calendars or the district feed, and the Year at a Glance prints no day count.
