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: Calendar is dated June 10, 2026; it does not say it is board-approved, so status is unknown. Student calendar = 178 student days plus 2 waiver days for teachers. Teacher/no-student days are Waiver Day #1 (Oct 16), Waiver Day #2 (Feb 16) and State PL Day #3 (Mar 26). Mar 12 and May 28 are snow make-up days, with no school unless needed. Juneteenth (observed) is June 18, after the last day of school. Early dismissals vary by grade. Oct 19 is K-5. Oct 26-30 is conference week for K-5, and Oct 28-30 is secondary conference week for grades 6-12. Nov 24 is grades 6-12. Jan 22 is K-5. Mar 10 is K-12. Mar 29-Apr 2 is K-5 conference week, and Mar 31-Apr 2 is grades 6-12 conference week. Jun 4 and Jun 15 (last day) are K-12. Many Mondays and some other days are 1-hour late arrival; Jan 4 is a 2-hour late arrival. Elk Plain School of Choice follows the elementary schedule. The PDF text layer is misaligned with the grid, so dates were read from the grid and side lists together.
