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: Oct 12, 2026 and Feb 15, 2027 are listed as Weather Make-up Days. The document does not say outright that they are no-school days, but the six-weeks day counts (24 and 27) exclude them, so they are treated as no school unless needed for make-up. MLK Day (Jan 18, 2027) is not shown as a holiday and appears to be a school day. Jan 11, 2027 is a Professional Learning Day and Jan 12 is a Teacher Workday, so students are out both days, and students return Jan 13. Aug 4-14 staff days are before the first day of school. Five days are half days with early student release: Sep 25, Oct 30, Dec 18, Feb 12 and Mar 12. Graduation is Jun 3-4, 2027, after the last day of school. The calendar has no adoption or approval statement.
