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: The grid PDF carries a 'Draft School Calendar' template header but is also marked '2026-2027 Official'; the district's calendar page lists it as the 2026-2027 Calendar (next to a separate 2027-2028 Draft), and the district's 2026-2027 agenda-view calendar (hampton.k12.va.us/calendars/202627AgendaCalendar.pdf) shows the same dates with no draft label. No board-approval statement is printed. Nov 3 is a Conference Day and Jan 26 a Regional Professional Development Day (students do not report on either). Early Close on May 28 applies to all students, 2 hours early. June 4 and June 7-9 are early release for elementary and middle school only; high school follows the exam schedule. HS exams are Jan 19-22. One banked inclement weather day is built in, with no date given; additional missed days are made up at the Superintendent's discretion. Memorial Day (May 31) is a closed day before the June 9 last day; Juneteenth (June 18) falls after it. Winter Break runs Dec 21 through Jan 1, Jan 4 is a teacher work day, and students return Jan 5. Graduations: PHS June 10, KHS June 11, BHS and HHS June 12.
