  • After the last day, the calendar still shows Memorial Day (May 31) and teacher planning day (June 1). 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 SJCSD Master School Calendar page, the SJCSD Master Calendar PDF and the SJCSD Month-by-Month calendar PDF.

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.
