Teachers start sooner. Staff days before school run Aug. 11 to 18.

What the district notes

• Schools add their own modified contact days, when students attend on modified hours. They are on each school's calendar, not this one.
• The 2.5-hour early dismissal on May 27 is for district-run schools. Charter school families should ask their school about dismissal times that day.
• The calendar counts 171 student contact days: 79 in the first semester and 92 in the second. Teachers work 185 days.

How we checked these 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 each one against the Jeffco Calendar & Events page, the Spanish edition of the family calendar and the Jeffco District Calendar Dates feed.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
