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: Oct 12, Jan 25 and Mar 5 are 'Student Holiday / Staff CLP Day'. Nov 2-3 are 'Student Holiday (Family Conferences)'. Apr 2 is early release for K-12 and a holiday for PK. Jun 4 and Jun 7 are early release for grades 9-12 only; Jun 8 and 9 are early release for PK-12. Make-up days are set by the Superintendent from banked time, holidays and staff days; none are designated on the calendar. The footer says 'Revised 9/17/26', a date that looks odd for a calendar posted in 2025; the dates were read as shown.
