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: Dates are from the Key Dates list; only the July and August monthly pages were provided, so Sept-June grids were not checked. Staggered start: Aug 24 for grades PK-5, 6 and 9; Aug 25 for grades 7-8 and 10-12. Aug 24 is used as the first day because most grades start then. Oct 28 is the end of the 1st nine weeks plus a Divisionwide Professional Learning Day; Jan 25 is a Teacher Planning Day; Feb 16 is a Divisionwide Professional Learning Day. All three have no school for students. Within Spring Break, Mar 29 is also Easter Monday and Apr 2 is also a Wellness Day. Feb 15 is a Wellness Day (RPS Closed) and is not labeled Presidents' Day. Nov 12 and 19 and Mar 11 and 18 are after-school parent conferences, not early release. Juneteenth (June 17) falls after the last day. Inclement weather days are built into the calendar, with no dates given; after they are used up, students do asynchronous learning. The document does not say the calendar is board-approved. It names it the '180-Day Calendar' but gives no student-day count.
