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 marked 'FINAL 8/6/26'; dates are set in the collective bargaining agreement with the Seattle Education Association. First day is Sept 2, 2026 for grades 1-12; kindergarten and all preschool students start Sept 8 (Family Connections Sept 2-4). Nov 23-25 (elementary parent/teacher conference days): the printable calendar says no school for elementary and all K-8 schools, while the district's key-dates page says no school for most elementary and K-8 schools (varies by school, see the school's website) and most middle schools are open; high schools are open. For most elementary and K-8 students the Thanksgiving break therefore runs Nov 23-27. Oct 9 is a State In-Service Day for Educators (no school for students). Early release every Wednesday except the first week of school (Sept 2 is not an early release day); these weekly early releases are not listed as dates. There is also a 1-hour early dismissal on Dec 18 and on the last day (June 21). June 22-23 are potential emergency closure make-up days. Status: the calendar is marked FINAL (8/6/26); we found no school board approval statement, so the site does not call it board-approved.
