Christmas Day (Friday, December 25, 2026) and New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1, 2027) both fall inside the break.
Students also have no school on Mon, Jan 4, 2027, Tue, Jan 5, 2027 and Wed, Jan 6, 2027, which makes the time off 19 days long.
Friday, December 18, 2026, the last day before the break, is an early release day.

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: Dates read from a color-coded grid with legend; the document has no text list and doesn't name the breaks. Oct 12-16 is a purple 'School Holiday' week with no name, so it is listed in days_off. Feb 15 (Presidents Day) and Mar 26 are red 'Bad Weather Days'; the document doesn't say whether they are off unless needed, so they are listed as make-up days only, so confirm with the district before planning travel. Early release on Dec 18 and May 21 (last day). Quarters end Oct 9, Dec 18 and Mar 11; the last quarter ends May 21. Blue professional days in August (Aug 3-12) are before students start. Days May 24-26 and June 1 are after the last day. The document does not say whether the calendar is board-approved.
