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: Grades 1-12 start Aug 26; K and Ready K start Aug 31; Meadow Crest starts Sept 1. All Fridays are 90-minute late start days unless noted (Nov 20 is not a late start day). Nov 19-25 parent/teacher conferences with early release for elementary; Nov 23-24 middle school early release; Nov 25 early release for all schools. High school conferences Oct 15 and Jan 28 (no early release). June 16 is the last day and an early release day. Emergency closure makeup days are May 28, June 17, and June 21-22; the document says 'if needed', so May 28 is listed as a day off unless used. June 18 (Juneteenth) is district closed but falls after the last day. Feb 15 is inside Mid-Winter Break and not separately labeled as Presidents' Day. No approval or adoption statement on the document.
