What the district notes
- Minimum days differ by school. The calendar lists them for elementary schools, Santa Monica middle schools, Malibu Middle and High School, Samohi and Olympic High School, and prints no dismissal times; your school sends its own. Some schools also add discretionary minimum days the calendar does not date: elementary schools add 1, Santa Monica middle schools 4, Malibu Middle and High School 1 and Olympic High School 2.
- Every student has 180 school days. Nov. 3 is off for elementary students only and Jan. 4 for middle and high school students only, so our count of 181 treats both as school days.
- Back to school nights: elementary TK-2 Tuesday, Aug. 25; elementary 3-5 Tuesday, Sept. 1; middle schools Thursday, Sept. 10; high schools Thursday, Sept. 24. Open house nights: Samohi Jan. 28, Malibu and Olympic high schools March 11, elementary March 18 or May 27, middle schools May 13.
- Olympic High School graduates Wednesday, June 2 (5:30 p.m.), Malibu High School and Samohi Tuesday, June 8 (2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.); elementary promotions are Monday, June 7 and middle school promotions Wednesday, June 9.
