Makeup days

The calendar names no makeup days. Its key has a mark for snow days, used when school closes. 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 lists high school exams in January as early dismissal days for high school students, with the dates still to be set ("January XX-XX").

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 our count of every school day against the day counts the district prints. They match.

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