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 document states 175 full days plus 2 early release days (Jan 21 and June 4, staggered dismissal times), 177 student days in all; the grid matches that count only with Oct 5, 2026 (gray 'Parent-Teacher Conference Day') as a no-school day for students, so it is listed with the teacher workdays. Make-up days: Days 1-3 are 'banked time' with no dates, and Make-up Day 4 is Feb 15, 2027, which is otherwise a President's Day closure; the Superintendent decides on make-ups. The notes page says teachers report Aug 30, 2026 and Oct 28, 2026, but the grid and key-date list mark Sep 4 and Nov 3 as PD/Teacher Workdays, and the stated day count agrees with the grid. Juneteenth (June 17) and the June 7 flex day fall after the last day of school. The document says calendar updates are made periodically, and no board approval is stated.
