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: Dates read from color-coded grid with legend. Blue = teachers & students off; green = teacher in-service day (no school for students). 11/24 is K-12 conferences (no cycle day shown, so treated as no school for all students); 3/5 is K-8 conferences with high school in session. The document does not name Thanksgiving, winter or spring break or label the individual holidays; dates are from the blue days in the grid. No day is labeled Spring Break: March 24-29 is blue, and March 24, 25 and 29 are listed as make-up days, with March 26 blue. Make-up days may be used as school days if needed, in any order. The document does not state total instructional days (elementary trimester counts 55/54/66; MS/HS marking period counts 44 each). Juneteenth falls after the last day.
