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: Status: the calendar is titled '2026-27 Calendar FINAL' (updated 8/17/26); we found no school board vote on it in the board's meeting records (September 2024 - September 2026), so the site does not call it board-approved. Grades 1-12 start Monday, Aug. 31; kindergarten has a staggered start beginning Sept. 3 (Kindergarten Family Connections Aug. 31 - Sept. 2). Aug. 31 - Sept. 2 (grades 1-5) and Jan. 26, 28 and 29 are half days for elementary students (elementary conferences; listed here as early release days). Every Wednesday from Sept. 9 is an early release day (90 minutes early for elementary students, 105 minutes for secondary students). Students do not attend school on LEAP (Learning Enhancement Academic Planning) days: Oct. 16, March 12 and May 28. Nov. 25 and the last day (June 16) are half days. June 1 is a no-school day that becomes a School Closure Make-up Day only if needed; June 17 and June 21-23 are further make-up days after the last day, so the school year may be extended due to inclement weather. Juneteenth is observed June 18, after the last day. The page-per-month version of the calendar (also updated 8/17/26) and the district's online calendar match; the online calendar lists no 2027 graduation dates. The 2027-28 calendar on the district page is marked tentative (not final) and is not included.
