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: Read from a color-coded grid with legend. The document shows no board approval statement (only a May 7, 2026 date), so status is unknown. Early dismissal on all Thursdays (elementary 12:20, middle 2:00, high 1:15) plus Wed Nov 25 (day before Thanksgiving) and the last day, June 11. Teacher workdays Aug 25-27 fall before the first day.

Jan 25 is a semester break. Juneteenth (June 18) falls after the last day. Break names are not printed on the calendar; the labels are blank.
