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: Aug 27 is the first full day of school for grades 1-12; Kindergarten starts Sep 2. Mondays are early release days (yellow on the grid). Fall Conferences (Oct 26-30) and Spring Conferences (Mar 29-Apr 2) are shown on the grid as all-school half days, so they are listed under early_release rather than as days off. Jun 9 is a half day. Jun 10 and Jun 14-16 are no school unless needed as snow make-up days. Jun 11 Treaty Day observed is no school. Jun 17-18 are also shaded as no school on the grid but are unlabeled and are not listed. The document does not say whether the calendar is board-approved, so status is unknown.
