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: Linked as the 2026-2027 Traditional Calendar on the district's Calendars page. The Board of Education adopted the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 traditional and year-round calendars on March 31, 2026 (resolution 26-10-223, motion carried 7-0 per BoardDocs); the adopted exhibits show the same dates as this file. The adopted exhibit states 170 instructional days, but its own grid gives the 172 counted here (its quarter totals leave out the two split-colored school days, Dec. 18 and May 27), so no day count is stored. Followed by all schools except Woodcrest Elementary (year-round calendar, separate tab). First day is Aug. 20 for grades 1-12, Aug. 25 for kindergarten and Sept. 8 for Pre-K. Professional development days (Oct. 16, Nov. 3) and records days (Oct. 19, Jan. 15, Mar. 25) are no-school days for students. All schools are closed Nov. 23-27 for Wellness Week (Nov. 25 is a compensatory day for parent conferences). Feb. 15 is a no-school day for students listed as a compensatory day for parent conferences (the calendar does not call it Presidents' Day; the district's online calendar shows 'NO SCHOOL'). Dec. 18 and Mar. 24 are 30-minute early dismissal days. No Pre-K on Nov. 2, Dec. 18, Jan. 19 and May 7. The district's online event calendar matches these dates. The calendar is subject to revision if classes are cancelled for severe weather or other emergencies. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 18) fall after the last day of school.
