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: Wednesdays are 2-hour early release for all schools (dates listed are the purple-highlighted Wednesdays); June 17, the last day, is a 3-hour early release for all schools. Elementary conferences Oct 12-16 and Feb 8-12 are 3-hour early dismissals for elementary schools only (not full days off). Secondary conferences Nov 24 are a 3-hour early dismissal for secondary schools only. Kindergarten starts Aug 31 and preschool starts Sep 8; other grades start Aug 26. ECSE last day is Jun 10. If the district cancels school, make-up days are Apr 16 and May 21 (no school unless needed), then after the school year ends in June if necessary. Winter Break is Dec 21-31 and Jan 1 is also listed as Winter Break/New Year's Day, so there is no school Dec 21 through Jan 1. The document does not state approval status or a total number of instructional days.
