Note: Staggered start: on Monday Aug 24, 2026 half of pre-K and kindergarten students and all students in grades 1-5, 6 and 9 start; on Tuesday Aug 25 the second half of pre-K/kindergarten and grades 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 start; all students attend from Wednesday Aug 26. Oct 28, Mar 26 and the last day (June 4) are student half days. Labor Day weekend is Sept 4-7 (Friday Sept 4 is also a day off). Feb 15 is a Wellness Day (schools and central offices closed), not labeled Presidents' Day. Juneteenth (June 17) falls after the last day. PDF 'Updated on April 22, 2026'; no approval wording on it. The School Board approved a 2026-27 calendar on May 8, 2025 (consent agenda item 9.21), but this later district version moves the Yom Kippur holiday to Sept 21 (the approved draft had Oct 21) and Eid al-Fitr to Mar 10 (draft: Mar 9), so the status is left unknown. No day count is printed; the dates give 174 student days (44, 43, 43 and 44 by quarter).
