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 v. 3/5/26. Days off other than named holidays are listed with the document's own wording; on the grid several of them (Sep 21, Nov 2, Jan 4-5, Mar 2 in green; Oct 12-13, Nov 3, Feb 15, Apr 19 in teal) are colored as professional learning/teacher workdays, but the text list does not say so. Jan 18 and Feb 15 are not named MLK Day or Presidents' Day on the document, so those fields are blank. Early 1:00 PM dismissal on Mar 26 and on the last day, May 26. First semester ends Dec 18 (last student day before break); second semester starts Jan 6. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (Jun 18) fall after the last day. No make-up days are listed.
