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 the color-coded grid and legend; the term table and day counts agree with the grid. Thanksgiving week: Nov 23-25 are Exchange Days (no school for students) and Nov 26-27 are Student/Teacher Holidays. Bad weather make-up days are Oct 8 and Mar 15, which are no school unless needed. Oct 8 and Feb 11 are marked as PK-8 parent/teacher conferences and student holiday; they are shown as no school for all students and are not counted in the term totals. The term table lists the 2nd 9 weeks as starting 10/13, but the grid shows Oct 13 as a holiday. The student-day counts only add up to 43 if Oct 13 is a no-school day, so it is treated as off (Oct 9, 12 and 13 off). Early release on Dec 18 and May 27. Memorial Day (May 31, 2027) is after the last day. Staff Development on May 28 is after the last day and is not listed.
