Makeup days

The calendar dates no makeup days. Up to five emergency days are added at the end of the year: the last day is May 25 if none are used and June 2 if all five are. If school closes for weather, the district announces how the day is made up.

• After the last day, the calendar still shows Memorial Day (May 29). 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 158 2027-28 Schedule of Events and the District 158 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.
