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 December 18, 2025. The document lists Labor Day as no school on both Friday Sept 4 and Monday Sept 7. Oct 12 and Nov 3 are labeled Indigenous Peoples Day/Election Day combined with Professional Learning Day, so they appear in both days_off and teacher_workdays. Two-hour early dismissals for all students: Oct 1 and Feb 25 (conferences) and June 16-17 (afternoon teacher work day). High school only: two-hour early dismissal June 14-17 for final exams. Preschool (ACPS Early Childhood Center and VPI classes) starts Aug 26. Cultural observance days are regular school days. The last day of school is June 17, 2027, so Juneteenth is not listed.
