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: The document does not say the calendar is board-approved, so status is unknown. Oct. 9, Dec. 18, Jan. 4 and March 5 are Teacher Planning days and student holidays. Bad weather make-up days are Feb. 12 and March 29, used in that order; if not needed they are no-school days. May 20 is the last day and an early release day. May 21 is graduation and professional development. Memorial Day (May 31) is after the last day. Feb. 15 and March 26 are labeled only 'School Holiday'; the document does not call them Presidents' Day or Good Friday.
