Note: Grades 6-12 start Sept 3; grades K-5 start Sept 8 (Sept 3-4 are Family Connections for K-5); preschool starts Sept 14 and ends June 11. Sept 3 used as first day since it is the first student day for most grades (6-12). Wednesdays Oct 7-May 12 are ACT (Academic Collaboration Time) 50-minute early releases; the listed dates are the Wednesdays marked on the grid, and some Wednesdays in that range (e.g. Nov 25 Thanksgiving Break, Dec 23, Mar 31 not marked) may not apply. Jan 29 (end of first semester) and June 17 (last day) are half-day releases. May 28 is a weather closure makeup day, no school unless needed. Memorial Day May 31 falls after the last day of school, so it is not listed. The document has no board-approval statement (updated June 23, 2026).
