Note: Graphic calendar linked on the district Calendar page as 2026-2027_Approved.pdf (the Board approved the 2026-2027 Academic Calendar on Jan. 21, 2025); it states 171 instructional days. Students have no school Oct. 12-16: Oct. 12-14 are Student/Teacher Holidays, Oct. 15 is a staff day and Oct. 16 a campus PLC day (the calendar does not call this week a fall break). Nov. 23-24 are Professional Learning Trade Days shown as student/teacher holidays (the district's online calendar lists them as 'Student and Teacher Holiday | Professional Learning Trade Days'), so there is no school all week Nov. 23-27; the district's text-format version of the calendar (dated April 20, 2026) lists Nov. 23-27 as Thanksgiving Break. Staff days and campus PLC days (Oct. 15-16, Nov. 3, Jan. 4, Feb. 15-16, Mar. 29) are student holidays; school resumes Jan. 5. Mar. 26 is a Student/Teacher Holiday on both the graphic and text calendars (the district's online event calendar has no entry for that day; its other no-school days match). Dec. 18 (last day of the first semester) and May 21 (last day of school) are early release days. Graduation dates are listed as TBD. The calendar is subject to change. Memorial Day (May 31) and June 18 are shown as non-academic-year holidays after the last day of school.
