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 2026-2027 printed family calendar and the SCPPS District Calendar page.

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