Note: Approved by the Board on April 7, 2026. The 2027-28 calendar grid does not print break names: the breaks here are the vacation-day and holiday blocks shown on the grid (winter break Dec 22-Jan 3 follows teacher workdays Dec 20-21; spring vacation Mar 27-31). Weather make-up: 6 banked instructional days and 5 remote instruction days (order set by district leadership), plus the teacher workdays Oct 11, Feb 21 and Apr 3. 177 student days = sum of the nine-week counts printed on the calendar (44+44+44+45); the small monthly count printed for April (19) does not match the days marked in April (18).
