  • Monday, Oct. 12: teacher plan day, no school for students
  • Monday, Jan. 4: teacher plan day, no school for students

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

  • School is open on a federal holiday: Veterans Day (Wednesday, Nov. 11). Banks, post offices and many offices close; school does not.
  • The calendar prints no parent-teacher conference days.
  • The calendar prints no testing dates. CCPS posts a separate Districtwide Assessment Calendar on its Calendars page.
  • After the last day, the calendar still shows teacher plan day (May 28) and Memorial Day (May 31). Students are already out.

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 district's Spanish edition of the calendar and the district events calendar on the Calendars page.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. The district's printed day counts match our own count of its calendar. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
