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: Classwork begins Wed Aug 19, 2026 for most grades; Kindergarten begins Wed Aug 26, 2026. The PDF file name says 'Final/Possible Final' but the document has no board-approval statement, so status is unknown. Professional Development days (Oct 21, Jan 14, Mar 19) are no school for students. The two 'Common Comp Day' no-school days (Nov 25 and Jan 15) are listed separately from Thanksgiving Break and are put in days_off. Fall Break is Thu Oct 22, Fri Oct 23 and Mon Oct 26. Early out: Oct 5-9 and Jan 25-29 for elementary schools only; Dec 18 and May 28 (last day) for all schools. Elementary SEP conferences are Oct 7-9 and Jan 27-29 (these fall in the elementary early-out weeks). Middle school SEP conferences are Sep 16 and Feb 11, and high school SEP conferences are Sep 17 and Feb 10. The document does not say whether school is out on those days. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 2027) are after the last day of school. The document gives per-term lengths (44, 44, 42, 44 instructional days) but no yearly total. Term ends: Oct 21, Jan 14, Mar 19, May 28. High School ACT Day is Mar 23, 2027, and it is a school day.
