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: Approved by the Board of Trustees 12.15.25. Feb. 15 and March 29 are listed as Bad Weather Make-Up Days, so they are holidays unless needed to make up lost days. Feb. 15 is printed as "Winter Holiday", not Presidents' Day, and is a make-up day, so presidents_day is left empty. Semester counts are 80 and 88 student days, and 168 is their sum. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day of school. Jan. 18 (MLK Day) is an inservice day with no school for students, but the calendar does not name it as a holiday. Teacher inservice days on May 21 and 24 come after the last day of instruction. HS Graduation is May 20, 2027 (calendar Other Dates), the last day of instruction. The Oct. 9 and 12 Fall Holidays are listed together and may also be seen as two separate holidays.
