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 12/11/2025; the calendar says it is subject to change by legislative action. Fall Break is Oct 9-13, which includes Indigenous Peoples' Day on Mon Oct 12; students return Wed Oct 14. Nov 2 is Professional Development with no students, and Nov 3 is AM PD / PM Teacher Work Day with no students. Jan 4 is PD and Jan 5 is a Teacher Work Day, both with no students, so students return Jan 6. Mar 12 is PD with no students. Feb 15 is listed only as a 'Non-school Day' and is not named as Presidents' Day, so presidents_day is left blank. April 19 is an Inclement Weather Day: no school unless it is needed as a make-up day, and it is not counted in the 175 student days. May 28 is a Teacher Work Day and May 31 a non-school day, both after the last day. Juneteenth (June 19) is also after the last day. Students' instructional days total 175.
