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: Read from a color-coded grid; the monthly student-day counts match the grid. Document says 'Final Calendar' but not board-approved, so status is unknown. Half days (PM teacher inservice) are shown on Sep 4, Dec 23, Jan 15, Feb 12, Mar 24 and Jun 9-11 (Jun 11 is the last day). Nov 3 (Election Day) is a teacher inservice with schools closed. Nov 23-24 and Apr 15-16 are marked as elementary parent conferences and are counted as student days, so no full days off; dismissal times are not shown. Nov 25 is marked 'Parent Conferences - Half Day For Teachers'; the November student-day count (17) suggests no school for students that day, but this is not stated, so it is not listed as a day off. Mar 25-26 and Mar 29 are 'Schools Closed' around Easter (Mar 28) but the document does not call them Spring Break. Jun 14, 2027 is shown as a 'Snow Day' (not counted in the 182 days), which appears to be a make-up day after the last day. Jun 18 is also closed, after the last day. Secondary marking periods end Nov 5, Jan 22, Apr 5 and Jun 10; elementary trimesters end Dec 1, Mar 10 and Jun 9.
