Makeup days
The calendar names no makeup days. If school closes for weather, the district announces how the day is made up.
Also worth knowing

- The calendar prints no testing dates.
- After the last day, the calendar still shows staff day after school ends (June 4) and Juneteenth (June 18). Students are already out.

What the district notes
- Weaver Elementary School has its own calendar (first day July 29, 2026, with a fall break Sept. 28 to Oct. 2 and a three-week winter break), posted on the district Calendars page.
- Back-to-School Night is Aug. 20 and Open House is Feb. 11.
- The calendar marks minimum days but prints no dismissal time; check your school's bell schedule.
How we checked the elementary dates
We read every date off the district's own calendar twice: once from the PDF's text and once from the image, cell by cell against its legend. Then we checked the first and last day and every holiday and break against the district's 2026-27 calendar dates list and the Los Alamitos Unified Calendars page. The other dates rest on the district's calendar alone.
Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.

How we checked the middle dates
We read every date off the district's own calendar twice: once from the PDF's text and once from the image, cell by cell against its legend. Then we checked the first and last day and every holiday and break against the district's 2026-27 calendar dates list and the Los Alamitos Unified Calendars page. The other dates rest on the district's calendar alone.
Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
