Note: Revised calendar approved by the School Board on April 7, 2026 (agenda item 2026-279); the board PDF labels it "DRAFT Version A" and the district confirms this is the approved version. Same dates as the district's web calendar. Schools are closed the whole week of Thanksgiving. Weather days (March 29, April 26, June 1 and June 2) are no-school days unless needed: school days lost to bad weather are made up on them in that order, and using the June days (after the Memorial Day closure on May 31) would move the last day of school. No early release days this year. Employee planning and professional development days (Oct 12-13, Jan 4-5, Mar 11-12) are no-school days for students.
